RND Function Details Syntax RND[(n)] The value of n determines how RND generates the next random number: Argument Number Returned n < 0 Always returns the same number for any given n 0 or n omitted Returns the next random number in the sequence n = 0 Returns the last number generated Even if n>0, the same sequence of random numbers is generated each time the program is run unless you initialize the random-number generator each time you run the program. (See the RANDOMIZE statement for more information about initializing the random-number generator.) To produce random integers in a given range, use the formula INT ((upperbound - lowerbound + 1)*RND + lowerbound) where upperbound is the highest number in the range, and lowerbound is the lowest number in the range.
