Write a JAVA program that generates a "random" (drunk) walk across a 10 X 10 array. Initially the array will contain all periods(".")
The program must randomly "walk" from element to element – always going up, down, right, or left (no diagonal) by one element.
The elements "visited" will be labeled by the letters "A" through "Z" in the order visited.
To determine you direction to move, use the random() method to generate a random integer
double rand = random();
Convert the random integer to a number 0~3 (hint: use the mod %)
If the number generated is a:
0 – move up (north)
1 – move right (east)
2 – move down (south)
3 – move left (west)
If the spot you are trying to move to is already occupied by a letter (has been visited), try the next spot. In other words
Random number is a 0 – check N, E, S, W
1 – check E, S, W, N
2 – check S, W, N, E
3 – check W, N, E, S
Keep within the array (check array bounds before moving)
If you hit a point where you cannot move, stop and print the array
If you get to the letter ‘Z’, stop and print the array
Ask for the user to enter the initial row and column on which to start.
Validate that row and column entered are valid (within the array)
