Thank you for your response but im looking to see actually how the random number is generated. Basicly the inner workings of somehting like Math.random or any other basic random number generator?

As you may, or may not, know, the source code of java is available. It's in the JDK. If u can't find it, send me a mail (via my profile page) with your email address & i ll send it to you (the code is too long to post here).

Math.random() generate a random floating element huge type from 0 - one million. 5-20 has a kind of 15 huge type so first you should scale your selection from 0-one million to 0-15 Math.random() * 15 <== this scale the diversity to 0-15 And to start with 5-20 you should characteristic 5 so ultimately you have Math.random()*15+5
