The Random
function generates random numbers within the specified range. There are two implementations of this routine:
Declaration
Result | Float |
iRange | [in] | Required | Integer | |
Result | Integer |
Description
Returns a random number within the specified range. If the iRange
variable is empty, the function generates a float random number within the range from 0 to 1. If the parameter is specified, the function generates a random integer in the range 0..iRange - 1.
Parameters
The function has the following parameter:
iRange
Specifies the right limit of the range defined by the (iRange - 1)
expression. A random number is generated within the specified range.
Return Value
A randomly generated value whose type depends on the function implementation:
If iRange is not specified, the return value is a float-type random number. If iRange is specified, the function returns an integer number.
Remarks
To initialize the random number generator, add a single call to Randomize
(see Randomize
) or assign a value to the RandSeed variable before making any calls to Random
.
The RandSeed variable holds the initial value for the random number generator. It allows you to generate the same sequences of random numbers.
