RND
Numeric Fun ction
SYNTAX: n = R N D (m)
PURPOSE: To return a pseudo– random num ber between 0 and 1.
REMARK S: The RND function returns a pseudo– random num ber between 0 and 1.
An m of less than zero will initialize the pseudo– random num ber sequence. Each time the
p s eu d o– r a n do m n um b e r g e ne r a to r is in it ia l iz e d w i th th e sa m e m nu m b er , i t w i ll pr o d uc e th e sa m e
sequence of pseudo– random number s.
An m of zero will cause RND to return the previous random number.
An m of greater than zero will cause RND to return the next random number in the sequence.
EXAMPLE: 10 R = RND(–1)
20 S = RND(0)
30 T = RND(1)
40 PRINT R,S,T
