Write a Java program to draw a cityscape as seen below. The city consists of some number of buildings. Each building has multiple stories. Each story has windows. Your program should draw a random cityscape as defined below using Turtle Graphics and methods with parameters.
The problem can be defined as such:
A city consists of 3 to 6 buildings (inclusive), randomly chosen. The cityscapeshould be centered left to right on the display and ground level should be suchthat a 15-story building is centered top to bottom.
The buildings are of width 70 and should be horizontally centred left to right inthe display
Each building is a rectangle with 5 to 15 stories (inclusive), randomly chosen.
Each story has two windows and is of height 30.

• Each window is four 10x10 squares (remember, squares are also rectangles) centered within the story.
BELOW IS MY CODE SO FAR COULD SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME HOW TO ACTUALLY DRAW THE BUILDING

yertle.left(PI/2);
};

public static void main ( String[] args ) { City c = new City(); };
} // <className>
thanks for your reply
I know how to use the methods to draw shapes and set parameters for the shapes but I don’t know how to use the random function in determining a random rectangle with shapes inside it
this is what my assignment is I have to complete it using methods and parameters
The problem can be defined as such:
• A city consists of 3 to 6 buildings (inclusive), randomly chosen. The cityscape
should be centered left to right on the display and ground level should be such
that a 15-story building is centered top to bottom.
• The buildings are of width 70 and should be horizontally centred left to right in
the display
• Each building is a rectangle with 5 to 15 stories (inclusive), randomly chosen.
• Each story has two windows and is of height 30.

• Each window is four 10x10 squares (remember, squares are also rectangles) centered within the story.
my code so far I am fine with making the rectangles and windows but I am unsure of how I go about making random sized buildings could someone please help

I haven’t done java but you would import a library that takes care of random numbers for you. Probably a subset of a match library. Then when you start drawing, you would insert values returned form random numbers.
I am still confused honestly I am 3 weeks into coding so I don’t really know that much but I have looked over that and I can’t figure out how to implement it in my problem

Hi. Moving away from the Java code, let’s try to do this in pseudo code. Could you reframe the problem and what you think the solution should be in pesudo-code?
