RND

random = RND[(x)]

Returns a pseudorandom number.

Parameters

x is a numeric expression. This value is ignored.

Notes

  • SE Basic IV's RND function produces different random numbers from Microsoft BASIC.
  • It is a very poor random number generator. RND should not be used for cryptography, scientific simulations or anything else remotely serious.

Errors

x has a string value: Type mismatch.
