float minX = 50.0f;
float maxX = 100.0f;

Random rand = new Random();

float finalX = rand.nextFloat(maxX - minX + 1.0f) + minX;

“The method nextFloat() in the type Random is not applicable for the arguments (float)”

Um, what?

    The nextFloat method doesn’t take an argument. Call it, then scale the returned value over the range you want.

    float minX = 50.0f;
    float maxX = 100.0f;
    
    Random rand = new Random();
    
    float finalX = rand.nextFloat() * (maxX - minX) + minX;
