The function nextGaussian() does not exist

bolodragon

Hi, I was trying to use the function nextGaussian() in class Random and this problem came up.

Then, I tried to add "import java.util.Random;"; it says "The import java.util.Random conflicts with a type defined in the same file."

Finally I used "final Random generator = new Random();" instead; it doesn't seem help at all.

My processing version is 3.2.1

The code shows as below:

Random generator;

void setup(){
  size(640,360);
  generator = new Random();
}

void draw(){
  float x = (float) generator.nextGaussian();
}

Is your sketch named Random? If it is change it to something else.

Using the final keyword will have absolutely no effect in this situation.

you can always use the fully qualified class name to avoid this

drop the import

java.util.Random generator;
...
generator = new java.util.Random();
