## Package Overview

This package provides functions related to random number generation. The `random:createDecimal` method generates a random decimal number between 0.0 and 1.0. The `random:createIntInRange` method generates a random number between the given start(inclusive) and end(exclusive) values.

For an example on the usage of the operations, see the [Random Example](https://ballerina.io/learn/by-example/random.html).

Represents Random module related errors.

  'class: "java.io.File"
}
```


Describes a Java constructor, which provides an implementation of a Ballerina function of which the body is marked as
`external`. If the Ballerina function body is marked as `external`, it means that the implementation of the
function is not provided in the Ballerina source module.

The following code snippet shows an example usage of this annotation. Here, the `newJavaLinkedList` Ballerina function's
implementation is provided by the default constructor of the `java.util.LinkedList` class.
```ballerina
function newJavaLinkedList() returns handle = @java:Constructor {
     'class: "java.util.LinkedList"
} external;
```


Identifies a type, class, or function that is used in the Java native code. This annotation should be added by the
developer if the type, class, or function could be accessed via runtime APIs such as `ValueCreator`.
```ballerina
@java:ExternalDependency
function foo(int x) returns int => x * 2;
```


Describes a Java Field access, which provides an implementation of a Ballerina function of which the body is marked as
`external`.
```ballerina
function getError() returns handle = @java:FieldGet {
    name:"err",
    'class:"java/lang/System"
} external;
```


Describes a Java Field mutate, which provides an implementation of a Ballerina function of which the body is marked as
`external`.
```ballerina
function setContractId(handle contractId) = @java:FieldSet {
  name:"contractId",
  'class:"org/lang/impl/JavaFieldAccessMutate"
} external;
```


Describes a Java method, which provides an implementation of a Ballerina function of which the body is marked as
`external`. If the Ballerina function body is marked as `external`, it means that the implementation of the
function is not provided in the Ballerina source module.

The following code snippet shows an example usage of this annotation. Here, the `getUUID` Ballerina function's
implementation is provided by the `java.util.UUID.randomUUID` static method.
```ballerina
function getUUID() returns handle = @java:Method {
    name: "randomUUID",
    'class: "java.util.UUID"
} external;
```
The `name` field is optional. If it is not provided, the name of the Java method is inferred
from the Ballerina function.
