Alea1.3 functions not accessible via typing

[kun]

hello everyone

i’ve been using OM7.6 with the Alea library (1.3), and the following issue:

when working with Alea, i cannot trigger the functions by typing the function name like in other libraries. this makes it hard to use Alea efficiently. i’ve tested this also on multiple macOS systems (macOS 15 and Mojave) with my teacher, and the problem seems consistent.

is this known issue with Alea 1.3 on OM 7.6?
or does anyone know a fix for this?
or is it possible that I am simply not typing the function names correctly?

thanks a lot in advance!

Hi Yukun,

This is not related to OM version or OS platform.
Alea library has its own package: alea.
If you need to call a function or a method from the library by typing you should first add:
alea::

example:

alea::choix

I will try to make this more easy for the user in a next release. (info Alea is an old library, it works very fine, but maybe needs some upgrade
