Create string in random order.

[Shirley Flood]

String text = "Work at Home";
I need to write the code that will create a new string the same length, and contain each character of the original string in random order.

class Stringrandom {

public static void main(String[] arguments) {
String str = "Work at Home";
System.out.println("The random string is: " + str.random());
}

}

First, welcome to the Ranch!!!

Second, we're happy to help. But you need to show us what you've done, and tell us where you're stuck. We can point you in a direction, but you're gonna have to do most of the work yourself.

Pesudo code:

String random = "";
String orig = text;
while (orig is not "")
{
    char c = remove random character from orig;
    random += c;
}

Now for some hints:
- use StringBuilder (Java 5 or up) or StringBuffer (Java 1.4 and down) for random and orig
- use java.util.Random for getting the random index
