Question

i started studying java about 2 or 3 months ago and i am fairly sucky at algorithms and i started working on a project and right now i need to figure out an algorithm.

Basically, it should go like this:

x (final output) is randomly chosen from 1 to 50. Simple. However, i want it to gradually get harder to get something high depending on variable y. Check the example below to see what i mean.

Example (Final output is x):
X = 2 while y is 1.
X = 2 while y is 1.
X = 5 while y is 2.
X = 9 while y is 6.
X = 12 while y is 10.
X = 14 while y is 15.`

See where i’m getting? It gradually get harder.
I’m sure it’s not that complicated to do but i can’t figure it out.

Thanks.

Answer 1

in pseudocode:

Return MIN(rand(1,50), rand(1,50);
