        Random random = new Random();
//return the next pseudorandom float value
Float val = random.nextFloat();
System.out.println("Random Float value : "+val);

import java.util.concurrent.ArrayBlockingQueue;

public class JavaRandomNextFloatExample2 {
static  int j=1;
public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter number of students.");
int capacity = scanner.nextInt();
ArrayBlockingQueue<String> queue = new ArrayBlockingQueue<String>(capacity);
System.out.println("Enter name of "+capacity+" students.");
for (int i=0;i<capacity;i++){
System.out.print(j++ +" ");String str = scanner.next();
queue.add(str);
        }
j=1;
        Random random = new Random();
for (String xyz :queue) {
            Float val = random.nextFloat();
System.out.println(j+++". " +xyz+"'s id  : "+val);
        }
