What is the new random number generator as of April 2016?

Neither the arc4random nor arc4random_uniform works and only shows up as an 'unresolved identifier'.

Hey Matt Capelli,

You can still use arc4random_uniform(). It takes in a UInt32 as its argument.

let randomNumber = arc4random_uniform(UInt32(10))

Good Luck

Hi,

I'm trying this let randomNumber = arc4random_uniform(UInt32(10)) in the xcode playground, but it keeps giving this error: use of unresolved identifier 'arc4random_uniform'

How should we generate a random number instead?
