random numbers in java?

I need to generate random numbers in java, and I need them to be completely evenly distributed(or close to that) specifically I need to generate around 300 numbers between 1 and 100...

math random method is not helping, nor any other traditional random method. the problem is the numbers I get from those methods repeat themselves after a certain time, or that they are not evenly distributed(so I get more than half the numbers below 50 and less than half above it...)

any ideas?

Mathematicaly, that's a random number generator:
x 0 = given, x n+1 = P 1 x n + P 2 (mod N) n = 0,1,2,...
The parameters P 1, P 2, and N determine the characteristics of the random number generator, and the choice of x 0 (the seed ) determines the particular sequence of random numbers that is generated. In your case N is 101.

Quote:

import java.util.Random;
class rndGen
{
static Random wheel = new Random();

public static void main(String[] args)
{
for(int i=0; i<300; i++)
{
// generate an int in range 0..100 inclusive.
int low = 0;
int high = 100;
int m = wheel.nextInt( high - low + 1 ) + low;
System.out.print( m + " ");
}
}
}

thanks, I actually was eventually able to do my code without the need to change the math random thingy, I'll keep your post in mind for future reference though
