Methods

o writeFiles 
 public void writeFiles(int num,
                        boolean ran,
                        String name)
Create random pseudo-profile files.

Parameters:
num - The number of files to create.
ran - A boolean used to indicate if the category names in the pseudo-profile files should be random or not.
name - The basename for the label files.
o writeFiles 
 public void writeFiles(int num,
                        boolean ran)
Create random pseudo-profile files.

Parameters:
num - The number of files to create.
ran - A boolean used to indicate if the category names in the pseudo-profile files should be random or not.
o main 
 public static void main(String args[])
A test method for DataStub. Use the following command-line arguments:
  1. count -- The number of random numbers you wish to generate.
  2. mod -- The number you wish to mod each random number by (optional).
This method will create the specified number of random numbers, and mod them by the optional mod argument. The results are printed to System.out.

o getRand 
 public int getRand()
Returns a random number.

Returns:
An random integer.
o getRand 
 public int getRand(int divnum)
Returns a random number.

Parameters:
divnum - An internal constant for use by the DataStub. The larger this number is, the smaller the range of numbers will be produced by the DataStub.
