Learn Java - Random class

The java.util.Random class instance is used to generate a stream of pseudorandom numbers. The class uses a 48-bit seed, which is modified using a linear congruential formula.The algorithms implemented by class Random use a protected utility method that on each invocation can supply up to 32 pseudorandomly generated bits.


Commonly used methods of Random class

There is a list of commonly used Scanner class methods:

MethodDescription
protected int next(int bits)This method generates the next pseudorandom number.
boolean nextBoolean()This method returns the next pseudorandom, uniformly distributed boolean value from this random number generator's sequence.
void nextBytes(byte[] bytes)This method generates random bytes and places them into a user-supplied byte array.
double nextDouble()This method returns the next pseudorandom, uniformly distributed double value between 0.0 and 1.0 from this random number generator's sequence.
float nextFloat()This method returns the next pseudorandom, uniformly distributed float value between 0.0 and 1.0 from this random number generator's sequence.
double nextGaussian()This method returns the next pseudorandom, Gaussian ("normally") distributed double value with mean 0.0 and standard deviation 1.0 from this random number generator's sequence.
int nextInt()This method returns the next pseudorandom, uniformly distributed int value from this random number generator's sequence.
int nextInt(int n)This method returns a pseudorandom, uniformly distributed int value between 0 (inclusive) and the specified value (exclusive), drawn from this random number generator's sequence.
long nextLong()This method returns the next pseudorandom, uniformly distributed long value from this random number generator's sequence.
void setSeed(long seed)This method sets the seed of this random number generator using a single long seed.

Face recognition using EmguCV 3.0 and typing pattern recognition

Introduction An MSc project with the title Student Examination System, where the objective is to put the students in an examination condition but instead of having an invigilator in an examination center, the system will cater for the proper ongoing of the exam. the system can be used as an online examination system The system is able to: Recognizing the face shape of a particular student Detect if there is more than one person in the examination room  Analyze the typing pattern of a student and detect if any one person is taking part in the exam voice recognition for the student and detect if there is more than one person speaking in the examination room Setup Download Emgu CV from  http://www.emgu.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page Download Haarcascade from  https://github.com/opencv/opencv/tree/master/data/haarcascades Create an account at  https://www.keytrac.net/ Face recognition The snippet below illustrates how the Emgu CV is loaded whe...

Google reCAPTCHA implementation - ASP.NET C#, ASP.NET Web API, Android

Google reCAPTCHA implementation ASP.NET C# Steps to implement Google reCAPTCHA in your website using technologies such as ASP.NET C#, ASP.NET web API, HTML and javascript. First you need to use your google account to login to Google reCAPTCHA  to register a new site. Add a label of your choice in the label section and for web implementation select the reCAPTCHA V2 radio button. Next in the domain section you can add several domains, for testing purposes you can add localhost also followed by another domain in the next line. Accept the terms and conditions and click on the button register. After you click register, google will generate a site key and a secret key and  instructions how to integrate it on both client and server side. Create ASP.NET Web API Next step is to open Microsoft Visual Studio and create a new project by selecting File > New from the menu bar and then select Project.  Select ASP.NET Web Application(.NET Framework) in the p...
