Hi All,

If some one can point me in the right direction for this code for my assigment I would really appreciate it.

I have pasted the whole code that I need to complete but I need help with the following method public void changeColour(Circle aCircle) which is meant to allow to change the colour of the circle randomly, if 0 comes the light of the circle sgould change to red, 1 for green and 2 for purple.

public class DiscoLight
{
   /* instance variables */
   private Circle light;   // simulates a circular disco light in the Shapes window
   private Random randomNumberGenerator;

   /**
    * Default constructor for objects of class DiscoLight
    */
   public DiscoLight()
   {
      super();
      this.randomNumberGenerator = new Random();           
   }


   /**
    * Returns a randomly generated int between 0 (inclusive) 
    * and number (exclusive). For example if number is 6,
    * the method will return one of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.
    */
   public int getRandomInt(int number)
   {
      return this.randomNumberGenerator.nextInt(number);
   }


   /** 
    * student to write code and comment here for setLight(Circle) for Q4(i)
    */
   public void setLight(Circle aCircle)
   {
       this.light = aCircle;

   }


   /**
    * student to write code and comment here for getLight() for Q4(i)
    */
   public Circle getLight()
   {
       return this.light;
   }

   /** 
    * Sets the argument to have a diameter of 50, an xPos 
    * of 122, a yPos of 162 and the colour GREEN.
    * The method then sets the receiver's instance variable
    * light, to the argument aCircle.
