Cannot find a class or type named "Random"

in Programming Questions • 8 months ago

Hi there, I'm new to Processing and I cannot eliminate the error with the following code:

Random generator;
void setup() {
size(640,480);
background(255);
generator = new Random();
}
void draw() {
}

What is wrong here?

Thanks,

Christian

If you're using latest Processing versions, there is "some"...

Processing series 2 don't auto-import lotsa libraries as much as v.1.5.1

Generally, importing whole java.util works in most cases:
import java.util.*;

Thanks. Now it works in the Processing IDE but I'm using the command line:

processing-java.exe --sketch="c:/chhenning/processing-2.0b7/sketches/gaussian_distribution/" --output="c:/chhenning/processing-2.0b7/output/gaussian_distribution" --force --run

now it tell me that:

unexpected token: import

I'm using processing-2.0b7.
