need help with coding again...

This code has to be in java.
For my robotics class, I need 2 teams to compete against each other. Winner moves to the next round
The teams are selected at random (simulating picking 2 teams from a hat) without replacement (math)
Write a program that will pick 2 random teams at a time from 8 teams without replacement .

Thanks to Allen for helping me with the other problems

{CL EXCERPT
XY=TRUE IF NT IS Y UNLESS Y

HUNT EXP}

My name is Tom.

But give me a second to write it.

Code:

public static void pair(){
ArrayList<String> pool = new ArrayList<String>();

Random rand = new Random();

pool.add("Team 1");
pool.add("Team 2");
pool.add("Team 3");
pool.add("Team 4");
pool.add("Team 5");
pool.add("Team 6");
pool.add("Team 7");
pool.add("Team 8");

int firstTeam = rand.nextInt(8);
int secondTeam = rand.nextInt(8);

while(firstTeam == secondTeam){
secondTeam = rand.nextInt(8);
}
System.out.println(pool.get(firstTeam) + " versus " + pool.get(secondTeam) + "!");
}

You should stop asking for people to write programs for you and instead ask for specific parts of the program you need help on.

Additionally, I'm writing this off exactly what you said. Does it only need to pair up one set of teams like it does now, or should it set up all four?

fuk u 2??

yeah tom I know I shouldn't be asking people for the code in its entirety. This is my first year in coding and I'm not particularly interested in the topic. The code is fine but we haven't learned how to use "pool" yet so I will probably not be able to use the code. Thanks anyways!

"pool" is just the name of the ArrayList.

ah well then we haven't learned ArrayList neither so that's why I didn't get the code. The code has to be rather basic. Thanks for trying once again

(we've only gotten as far as arrays I believe)

Code:

public static void pair(){
Random rand = new Random();

int firstTeam = rand.nextInt(8) + 1;
int secondTeam = rand.nextInt(8) + 1;

while(firstTeam == secondTeam){
secondTeam = rand.nextInt(8) + 1;
}
System.out.println("Team " + firstTeam + " versus Team " + secondTeam + "!");
}
