Have you ever seen a Magic 8 ball? You ask it a yes-no question and then shake it to get a random response like “Signs point to yes!”, “Very doubtful”, etc. If you’ve never seen a Magic 8 ball, check out this video.

We encourage you to work in pairs for this challenge. Come up with 8 responses to yes-no questions. Write a program below that chooses a random number from 1 to 8 and then uses if statements to test the number and print out the associated random response from 1-8. If you need help with random numbers, see lesson 2.9.

public class Magic8Ball
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Get a random number from 1 to 8

// Use if statements to print out 1 of 8 responses

}
}
