Say you have an enum
with some elements
public enum LightColor {
RED, YELLOW, GREEN
}
And would like to randomly pick any color from it.
I put colors into a
public List<LightColor> lightColorChoices = new ArrayList<LightColor>();
lightColorChoices.add(LightColor.GREEN);
lightColorChoices.add(LightColor.YELLOW);
lightColorChoices.add(LightColor.RED);
And then picked a random color like:
this.lightColor = lightColorChoices.get((int) (Math.random() * 3));
All of this (while working fine) seems needlessly complicated. Is there a simplier way to pick a random enum element?
