Random Function

Format

i = random(min_value, max_value);

Description

The random function returns a uniformly distributed random number between the number expressions min_value and max_value inclusive.

By default the sequence of random numbers generated by repeated calls to random will always be the same. You can use the seed function to generate a different sequence.

Return Value

The function returns an integer random value. The function will return a value of default if min_value is greater than max_value or if either value is equal to one of the special values.

Example

NUMBER = random(1, 100);
