/*
This is java program to generate the random numbers. In mathematics, the middle-square method is a method of generating pseudorandom numbers.To generate a sequence of 4-digit pseudorandom numbers, a 4-digit starting value is created and squared, producing an 8-digit number (if the result is less than 8 digits, leading zeroes are added to compensate). The middle 4 digits of the result would be the next number in the sequence, and returned as the result. This process is then repeated to generate more numbers.
