I need to create a random string which should be between the length of 6 to 10 but it sometimes generates only about the length of 3 to 5. Here's my code. Can anyone would be able to find out the problem? :(
int lengthOfName = (int)(Math.random() * 4) + 6;
String name = "";
/* randomly choosing a name*/
for (int j = 0; j <= lengthOfName; j++) {
int freq = (int)(Math.random() * 100) + 1;
if(freq <= 6){
name += "a";
}if(freq == 7 && freq == 8){
name += "b";
}if(freq >= 9 && freq <= 11){
name += "c";
}if(freq >= 12 && freq <= 15){
name += "d";
}if(freq >= 16 && freq <= 25){
name += "e";
}if(freq == 26 && freq == 27){
name += "f";
}if(freq == 28 && freq == 29){
name += "g";
}if(freq >= 30 && freq <= 33){
name += "h";
}if(freq >= 34 && freq <= 48){
name += "i";
}if(freq == 49 && freq == 50){
name += "j";
}if(freq >= 51 && freq <= 55){
name += "k";
}if(freq >= 56 && freq <= 60){
name += "l";
}if(freq == 61 && freq == 62){
name += "m";
}if(freq >= 63 && freq <= 70){
name += "n";
}if(freq >= 71 && freq <= 75){
name += "o";
}if(freq == 76 && freq == 77){
name += "p";
}if(freq == 78){
name += "q";
}if(freq >= 79 && freq <= 84){
name += "r";
}if(freq == 85 && freq == 86){
name += "s";
}if(freq == 87 && freq == 88){
name += "t";
}if(freq >= 89 && freq <= 93){
name += "u";
}if(freq == 94){
name += "v";
}if(freq == 95 && freq == 96){
name += "w";
}if(freq == 97){
name += "x";
}if(freq == 98 && freq == 99){
name += "y";
}if(freq == 100){
name += "z";
}
