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 integers 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.
