Random

Im trying to do something but it requires the use of random numbers and i can make random numbers but i want them in a certain range eg 1-10

my_number = (rnd() * (max_val - min_val + 1)) + min_val

in this particular case:
my_number = (Rnd() * (10 - 1)) + 1

ERROR!!

Quote:

---

my_number = (Rnd() * (10 - 1)) + 1

This only gives random numbers 1 to 9.

The correct formula is :-

Code:

---

MyNumber = Int(Rnd() * 10) + 1

---

oops.. I forgot to carry across the +1!

it should have been :
my_number = (Rnd() * (10 - 1 + 1)) + 1

(which is the same as you said!)

Thanx very much
