**`nextInt`** is a static method of the `RandomUtils` class that returns a random integer value.

# 
#  Import `RandomUtils`

`RandomUtils` is defined in the `Apache Commons Lang` package. `Apache Commons Lang` can be added to the Maven project by adding the following dependency to the `pom.xml` file.

```
<dependency>
   <groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId>
   <artifactId>commons-lang3</artifactId>
   <version>3.12.0</version>
</dependency>
```
> For other versions of the `commons-lang` package, refer to the [Maven Repository](https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.commons/commons-lang3).
# 
#  Syntax 

```java
public static int nextInt()
```

##  
## Parameters
The `nextInt` method doesn't take any parameters. 

##  
## Return value 
This method returns a random integer value.

> The returned random integer value will be within `0 to Integer.MAX_VALUE`.



## Code 

In the code below, we use the `nextInt` method as follows:

import org.apache.commons.lang3.RandomUtils;

class NextIntExample {
    public static void main( String args[] ) {
        System.out.println("RandomUtils.nextInt() => " + RandomUtils.nextInt()); // random int value
        System.out.println("RandomUtils.nextInt() => " + RandomUtils.nextInt()); // random int value
    }
}

#    
## Explanation 

In the code above: 

* Line 1: We import the `RandomUtils` class. 

```
import org.apache.commons.lang3.RandomUtils;
```

* Lines 5 and 6: We use the `nextInt` method to get the random integer value. 

## Expected output

```c
RandomUtils.nextInt() => 12
RandomUtils.nextInt() => 189
```
> When you run the code, your output can be different because a random number is generated.
