    <p>First of all, instead of making it a <code>String[][]</code> array, you should make it a <code>Drink[]</code> array (where <code>Drink</code> is a class that you have defined and which has a <code>String</code> name, and a <code>float</code> price. This will help you use the info, because you won't have to constantly worry about parsing the price String to a double.</p> <p>Here is a pseudocode solution if the array is sorted by price (from lowest to highest):</p> <ol> <li>First find the most expensive drink that you can still buy. You could binary search for it, but a simpler solution would be to go from index 0 to Test.length-1 checking whether or not the drink would be buyable. If not, you would stop and store the index of the last buyable drink. If it were buyable, you would continue.</li> <li>Then, you would generate a random <code>int</code> from 0 to the <code>maxIndex</code> (inclusive), and output the Drink.</li> </ol> <p>For example,</p> <p><code>(int)(Math.random()*(maxIndex+1))</code> would get you the random integer.</p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p> <p>Since the array is not necessarily sorted, you can sort it. In order to do this, use <code>java.util.Arrays.sort(Object[] o, Comparator c)</code> to sort it.</p> <p>Input your <code>Drink[]</code> as the first parameter. And your <code>DrinkComparator</code> as your second. This will <code>quicksort</code> it for you.</p> <p>Assuming that your <code>Drink</code> class is defined as follows:</p> <pre><code>public class Drink { String name; double price; // You could also use floats public Drink(String n, double p) { price = p; name = n; } } </code></pre> <p>You can make your <code>DrinkComparator</code> class like this.</p> <p><a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/Comparator.html" rel="nofollow">http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/Comparator.html</a></p> <pre><code> class DrinkComparator implements Comparator { public int compare(Object o1, Object o2) { if(o1.price &lt; o2.price) { return 1; } else if(o1.price == o2.price) { // Disregarding float imprecision return 0; } else { // Not necessary, but here for the sake of readability. return -1; } } public boolean equals(Object o) { // I don't think you will be using this method. return true; // If you run into problems, tell me. } } } </code></pre> <p>Then you would sort like this:</p> <p><code>Arrays.sort(drinks, new DrinkComparator());</code></p> <p><code>drinks</code> would be your <code>Drink[]</code> of course.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
