//There will be 0.0 to 1.0% chance that the String will become "CHICKEN NUGGESTs"
public static String main(String arg){
Random rand = new Random();
int mutatePercentage = rand.nextInt(100);// if it's 0, means 0% chance. if it's 99, it means 1% chance
if(mutatePercentage==0){
return arg; // no change since % is 0
}
else if (rand.nextInt(10000) < mutatePercentage){
return mutateString(arg);
}

}

Hi there,
I found this piece of code from else where.

Where can I get the mutateString(arg) function?

Probably the same place.

My best guess: http://forums.hardwa...ge-4026916.html

public static String mutateString(String mutate){
   int max = 122;//largest ascii
   int min = 0;//smallest ascii range
   StringBuilder str = new StringBuilder(mutate);
   Random r = new Random();
   for(int i = 0; i < mutate.length();i++){
      if(0.50 >= r.nextDouble()){
         str.setCharAt(i, (char) r.nextInt(max - min + 1));
      }
   }
return str.toString();
}
