Java: do something x percent of the time

Question

I need a few lines of Java code that run a command x percent of the time at random.

psuedocode:

boolean x = true 10% of cases.

if(x){
  System.out.p         


        

Answer 1

You could always generate a random number (by default it is between 0 and 1 I believe) and check if it is <= .1, again this is not uniformly random....
