Unable to use math/rand and crypto/rand together

[Amee Trivedi]

Hi,

When i try to use math/rand and crypto/rand together it gives me error.

Is there any workaround for this?

You can import packages with different local names, e.g.:

import mrand "math/rand"
import crand "crypto/rand"

Give your imports an explicit name:

        import name "path"

-j

You mean a way to avoid the package name conflict? Just rename one of them at import time:

import (

  "crypto/rand"

  mrand "math/rand"

)

Then refer to math/rand as mrand in your code.
