title: How to assign a random number a string value in my program
body: <p>as the title suggests I am doing a program for homework that is a slot machine. I have searched around and I am pretty satisfied that the program works correctly enough for me. The problem Im having is on top of generating the random numbers, I am supposed to assign values for the numbers 1-5 (Cherries, Oranges, Plums, Bells, Melons, Bars). Then I am to display the output instead of the number when my program runs. Can anyone get me pointed in the right direction on how to do this please?</p>
  
  <pre><code>import java.util.Random;
  import java.util.Scanner;
  
  
  
  public class SlotMachineClass {
  
  
  public static void main(String[] args) {
  
      Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
  
      int Coins = 1000;
      int Wager = 0;
  
  
  
  
      System.out.println("Steve's Slot Machine");
      System.out.println("You have " + Coins + " coins.");
      System.out.println("Enter your bet and press Enter to play");
  
  
  
  
      while (Coins &gt; 0)
      {
      int first = new Random().nextInt(5)+1;
      int second = new Random().nextInt(5)+1;
      int third = new Random().nextInt(5)+1;
  
      Wager = input.nextInt();
  
      if(Wager &gt; Coins)
               Wager = Coins;
  
      System.out.println(first + " " + second + " " + third);
  
  
      if(first == second &amp;&amp; second == third)
      { Coins = Coins + (Wager * 3);
           System.out.println("You won " + (Wager * 3) + "!!!!" + " You now have " + Coins + " coins.");
           System.out.println("Enter another bet or close program to exit");}
  
      else if((first == second &amp;&amp; first != third) || (first != second &amp;&amp; first == third) || (first != second &amp;&amp; second == third))
      { Coins = Coins + (Wager * 2);
           System.out.println("You won " + (Wager * 2) + "!!!" + " You now have " + Coins + " coins.");
           System.out.println("Enter another bet or close program to exit");}
  
      else {Coins = Coins - Wager;  
      System.out.println("You Lost!" + "\nPlay Again? if so Enter your bet.");}
  
  
  
      }
  
      while (Wager == 0)
      {
          System.out.println("You ran out of coins. Thanks for playing."); 
      }
  
  
  }
