Hi there,
I'm going through Dan Shiffman's book "The nature of code" at the moment.
In one of the "random number" examples he mentions that we can make use of a class know as
Random which is part of the default Java libraries imported into processing. (
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/Random.html)
However when I use this I get the error "Cannot find a class or type named Random". How would I get this to work?
Here is the example.
- Random generator;
- void setup(){
- size(640,360);
- generator = new Random();
- }
- void draw(){
- float num = (float)generator.nextGaussian();
- float sd = 60;
- float mean = 320;
- float x = sd * num + mean;
- noStroke();
- fill(255,10);
- ellipse(x,180,16,16);
- }
