| Rand.Int | Part of Rand module |
| Syntax | Rand.Int (low, high : int) : int
|
| Description | The Rand.Int statement is used to create a pseudo-random integer in the range low to high, inclusive. For example, if i is an integer, after i:=Rand.Int (i,1, 10), i would have a value such as 7 or 2 or 10.
|
| Example | This program simulates the repeated rolling of a six sided die.
loop
put "Rolled ", Rand.Int (1, 6)
end loop
|
| Details | The Rand.Int statement sets its parameter to the next value of a sequence of pseudo-random integers that approximates a uniform distribution over the range low =i = high. It is required that low = high. Each time a program runs, Rand.Int uses a different pseudo-random number sequence. To always get the same sequence (actually, to start the sequence at the same point), use the Rand.Set procedure. To use several sequences of repeatable pseudo-random number sequences, use the Rand.Seed and Rand.Next procedures.

| Status | Exported qualified. This means that you can only call the function by calling Rand.Int, not by calling Int.
