Observe that, unlike with the Math.random() method, you need to first create an instance of the Random class and then call an appropriate getXXX method to get a random int, long, float, or double value.

Besides the nor args getInt method, it also has getInt(int bound) method ...

From the context it is rather clear what is meant but I could not find any getXXX methods in the Java API docs of 1.8 and 11. in my opinion get should be replaced with next here.

Great book, I hope one day I will get all the way to OCP Java certification. I am grateful you provide us with this material for little money!

You are right. It should be nextXXX methods.

All the best for your preparation.

In your study experience with this book, have you encountered any other places where method names or details differ from the official Java API documentation? If so, how did you handle those differences in understanding?

Don't worry, you will not be surprised in the exam if you go through the book.
