Random.nextFloat is not applicable for floats?

\"The method nextFloat

Answer 1

The documentation is very clear, nextFloat() doesn't take any arguments. It'll give you a number between 0 and 1, and you'll need to use that in your calculation.

edit: example

private Random random = new Random();
public float nextFloat(float min, float max)
{
    return min + random.nextFloat() * (max - min)
}
