I wonder how short a good Java programmer's solution would be compared to the J Random Java Programmers used in the study so long ago.

  I also wondered that.

    Seven lines, of course. It's obviously in the standard library.

      That is why these SLOC measurements are stupid. If you find the right library or module, perhaps from CPAN, that can change everything.

  I can try it, if you'd like. I haven't looked at the exercise at all, so it would be fair. I'd rather do the exercise in Scala though... So if anyone wants to benchmark that I can do it instead :)
