Uhh, Gris, if this is for cog, it would be

Code: 
Number = Rand();

RandInt() isn't in cog, its in TI-83+ prog, I think C/C++, but not cog.

Eh, Grismath, why in the world did you post that? Of course there's no RandInt() in Cog.

Don't feel so bad, I'm having to relearn BASIC to pass my comp prog class, no While, nor For loops, and many more commands that aren't there. Scary. But still, I'm always having to erase semi-colons at the end of each line of BASIC. So use to C/C++ and cog. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/redface.gif]

Most BASICs have For To Step, Do While, and While loops. Not having them would be a severe limitation.

Only type of loop are BASIC will accept is a goto loop.

QBASIC, I think... Maybe I'm just doing something wrong with my arguments, and that is why it doesn't work. I dunno.

I know QBasic uses those loops. Look them up in its help documentation.

I take back the part about the For loop, but it doesn't have a pause statement. BTW - this is for my Comp Prog class (i'm only doing it for the C/C++) and we have no help docs or mannual. *sigh* Its hard.

QBasic has a sleep or pause function. But vb doesnt...

Haven't tried sleep yet, but there is definatly no pause, except using pause as a variable and a long FOR loop. Of course I could be wrong about this whole thing... *shrugs*

Yeah, QBasic uses a Sleep statement. And the documentation I was refering to is QBasic's help index, not a manual. Anyways, good luck with your programming class. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]

If you want to generate a random number up to a certain limit, use number=rand()*limit, and it'll generate numbers between 0 and whatever you plug in for 'limit.' I haven't figured out how to set a minimum, but you shouldn't really need one.

I'm the RandMan, I have a rand() command in all of my mods, at least once. Usually several times.
***POST COUNT +1!***
2002-09-25, 3:23 AM #21
Code: 
Rand_num = min - 1;
While(Rand_num < min) 
Rand_num = Rand() * max;

Uhh, DP, that might push the number past the max value. My way is better.

Push the value past max? Just adjust max. Pilot's solution is IMO better, because yours could take a lot of cpucycles to compute...
