RND - DualBrain/bsharp GitHub Wiki

To return a random number between 0 and 1.

Syntax

RND[(x)]

Comments

The same sequence of random numbers is generated each time the program is run unless the random number generator is reseeded (see RANDOMIZE statement). If x is equal to zero, then the last number is repeated.

If x is greater than 0, or if x is omitted, the next random number in the sequence is generated.

To get a random number within the range of zero through n, use the following formula:

INT(RND*(n+1))

The random number generator may be seeded by using a negative value for x.

Example

10 FOR I = 1 TO 5
20   PRINT INT(RND * 101);
30 NEXT

 53 30 31 51 5

Generates five pseudo-random numbers within the range of 0-100.
