Multiply it by the maximum number you want, for example if you want
something between [1,20] you do int(rand()*20 + 1)

Edwin, wondering if you couldn't have sent it to just one mailing-list.

Re: Quick question

2001-11-23 Thread Lance Keay

this will give you a random number of 0 or 1.  Just substitue the 1 for the
number range you want.
Note:  I have found that the lowest and highest numbers do not appear to
have the same randomness weighting as the middle range, probably due to the
sprintf rounding, so add two to the range you want and disregard the lowest
and highest returned.

#!usr/bin/perl

srand;

for($x=0; $x<20; $x++)
{
 $holdRand=sprintf("%.0f", rand(1));
 print"\n$holdRand";
}
