And the winners are....
<h2> Anil Kollur </h2>
<h2> Damodar Katti </h2>
<h2> Kavita Ghia </h2>
<h2> shailesh sonavadekar </h2>
Let's here it for our winners! Wooo Hoooooo!!!
Here is how the winners were chosen: I went through the forum and read EVERY message posted on or after the 21st. If the author had a proper name and the message had some substance (not just "thanks" or "enter me in the contest" or "yeah, what he said") then I added the name to a list in a text file.
I ended up with 45 lines in the text file. Some names were repeated several times.
I used this little program to pick a number from 1 to 45:
<pre>
code:
import java.util.* ;
public class Pick
{
public static void main(
String[] args )
{
int numPicks = Integer.parseInt( args[0] );
Random r = new Random();
for( int i = 0 ; i < 10 ; i++ )
{
r.nextInt();
}
System.out.println( r.nextInt( numPicks ) + 1 );
}
}
</pre>
Fair enough?
