Random number between -5 and 5

Question

Im trying to get random number between -5 and 5. Im using this code:

random.nextInt(10)-5;  

but it doesnt give me number 5 and if i use random.nextInt(10)-4; then I never get -5.

So how can I get random between -5 and 5?

Answer 1

random.nextInt(11) - 5

You have 11 integers in the interval so you need 11 different values.

Answer 2

The end of the range is exclusive in Random, so you have to use:

random.nextInt(11) - 5
