how to pick a random suit/rank from an array?

[nobody58]

hi

I'm not that good at Java so I'm stuck

I got this array and I want to make the computer pick a random suit and rank from the list

I'm not sure if i can do that in the same class or just make a new

this is my array:

 
public class Card 
{
 
    private String rank;
    private String suit;
 
 
    public Card(int rank, int suit)
    {
        if(suit == 0)
        {
            this.suit = "Spades";
        }
        else if(suit == 1)
        {
            this.suit = "Diamonds";
        }
        else if(suit == 2)
        {
            this.suit = "Clubs";
        }
         else if(suit == 3)
        {
            this.suit = "Hearts";
        }
        else
        {
        return;
        }
 
 
        if (rank == 1)
        {
            this.rank = "Ace";
        }
        else if (rank == 11)
        {
            this.rank = "Jack";
        }
        else if (rank == 12)
        {
            this.rank = "Queen";
        }
        else if (rank == 13)
        {
            this.rank = "King";
        }
        else
        {
            this.rank = "" + rank;
          }
    }
    public String getSuit() 
    {
        return suit;
    }
    public String getRank() 
    {
        return rank;
    }
 
}
