set the SET method

[Cougar Vis]

My problem is follow:

I have this little problem here:

public class Customer
{
//variblesprivate int customerID;
public Customer(int customerIDIn) 
{    
customerID = customerIDIn;
}
public int getCustomerID ()
{
return customerID;
}                     
public void setCustomerID (int customerIDIn)
{
customerID = customerIDIn;
}
public static void main (String [] args)
{
int customerIDIn;customerIDIn = (int)(Math.random()*90000)+10000;
System.out.println("\nThe random customer ID number is " + customerIDIn);
}

I would like to know how do i put the 'customerIDIn to the 'set' method? after I generated a random number and want to set it so other class can get it.
THANX :roll: :roll:

Here's something to play around with

import java.util.ArrayList;
class MyCustomers
{
  public MyCustomers() 
  {
    ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
    for(int x = 0; x < 10; x++) list.add(new Customer((int)(Math.random()*90000)+10000));
    for(int x = 0; x < list.size(); x++)
    {
      System.out.println("Customer #"+(x+1)+" ID = " + ((Customer)list.get(x)).getCustomerID());
    }
  }
  public static void main(String[] args){new MyCustomers();}
} 
class Customer
{
  private int customerID;
  public Customer()
  {
  }
  public Customer(int customerIDIn) 
  {    
    customerID = customerIDIn;
  } 
  public int getCustomerID (){return customerID;}                     
  public void setCustomerID (int customerIDIn){customerID = customerIDIn;}
}

what do i need to actually do to able others to get this "customerID"?

No understood the problem clearly.

Make the object of class

Customer cust = new Customer();

Now call cust.setCustomerID(customerIDin);

thats how you can set the customer id for the perticular object.

Is this you want? If not then describe the whole problem what you want to develop?
