Random

See Also: Math Functions

Purpose

The Random function returns a random number between zero and a specified upper limit.

Return Type

Integer

Syntax

Random({limit})

Parameters

• {limit}: Determines the upper limit of the generated random number.

What It Does

The Random function returns a randomly-generated integer whose absolute value is between zero and {limit}.

Move (Random(10000000)) to iNumberToDial

In this example, a random number from zero to 9,999,999 is moved to the variable iNumberToDial.

Notes

• The Random function returns only values having the same sign as {limit}. If {limit} is negative, the returned value will always be negative.

• This function returns a value of type integer. If {limit} is not an integer, its value will be converted to that type for use in this function. If the result of this function is moved to a variable of a type other than integer, its value will be converted to the destination type.
