Overview

This randomnumber(n,x) function will return a random number between n and x. Note: A whole number will be returned UNLESS you pass the bounds of 0,1 and in this case a floating point number is found.

  • Pass: Two Ints defining the bounds of the random number
  • Returns: A Double representing the random number

Example

#include <maths>
var a:=randomnumber(10,20);
var b:=randomnumber(0,1);

In this case, a is a whole number between 10 and 20, whereas b is a decimal number.

Since: Version 0.41b
