Get a new random value (RandomNumberGenerator class)
This method returns the integer value, within a default or explicit range,
of the random number method object.
Using this method is the only way to get the random number
referred to by a RandomNumberGenerator object variable.
Syntax
%number = randomNumberGenerator:Value[( [min], [max])]
Syntax terms
| %num | A numeric variable to contain a random integer greater than or equal to min and less than or equal to max. |
|---|---|
| %rand | A RandomNumberGenerator object variable. |
| min | An optional integer that is the lower limit for the generated random number. The minimum value of this argument is the same as its default: -1,000,000,000. |
| max | An optional integer that is the upper limit for the generated random number. The maximum value of this argument is the same as its default: 1,000,000,000. |
Usage notes
- Since the Value method has no parameters,
you can use either of the following ways if you want a fresh
starting datum for each Value call:
%num = %(randomNumberGenerator):new:value(1,10) %num = %(randomNumberGenerator):new(salt=%i):value(1,10)In the latter case, %i might be a counter that gets incremented at each New call.
