Generate array of random numbers without repetition

In the previous section, you have learnt how to generate an array of random numbers from the given array. The generated array consists of some duplicates. So to overcome this, we have created an application that will generate the array of random numbers without repetition. Here we have allowed the user to enter the elements of array of their choice and display 5 elements from them randomly.

Here is the code:

import java.util.*;

public class RandomNumberExample {
	public static List get(List numbers, int noOfRandomNumbers) {
		List list = new ArrayList(numbers);
		List randomList = new ArrayList();

		Random rd = new Random();
		for (int i = 0; i < noOfRandomNumbers; i++) {
			int index = (int) (rd.nextDouble() * list.size());
			randomList.add(list.get(index));
			list.remove(index);
		}
		return randomList;
	}

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		int arr[] = new int[10];
		Integer in[] = new Integer[10];
		Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
		System.out.println("Enter 10 numbers: ");
		for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
			arr[i] = input.nextInt();
			in[i] = new Integer(arr[i]);
		}
		System.out.println("Generated Random Numbers: ");
		List randomList = get(Arrays.asList(in), 5);
		for (Integer randomNumber : randomList) {
			System.out.println(randomNumber);
		}
	}
}

Output:

Enter 10 numbers:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
Generated Random Numbers:
10
1
2
7
4
