Random Number Generator with multiple numbers HELP PLEASE

[uvlights]

Hi,

 

I'm writing on a dart scorer programm.

I'm stuck with implementing a random generator to choose a random start player.

I listed the members in an ini file like this:

[m1]

name = "Testname1"

[m2]

name = "Testname"

and so on...

 

I want to generate as many random numbers, as I have players in the ini.

But I don't want any duplicates of course and that's where I'm stuck.

here's the code:

Global $randomnumber[11]
$ini_sections = IniReadSectionNames(@ScriptDir & "\members.dat")

For $i = 1  To UBound($ini_sections) - 1
  Do
    $randomnumber[$i] = Random(1, UBound($ini_sections) - 1, 1)
  Until $randomnumber[$i] = $randomnumber[$i - 1] = False
Next

_ArrayDisplay($randomnumber)

like this I can ensure that number no.2 doesn't equal number 1. But then I'm stuck idk how to move on.

Let me guess, you searched the forum for something like "unique random numbers" and couldn't find anything?

Here's a simple example using _ArrayShuffle --

#include <array.au3>

Global $iCount = 3
Global $randomnumber[$iCount]

For $i = 0 To $iCount - 1
    $randomnumber[$i] = $i + 1
Next

_ArrayDisplay($randomnumber, 'pre-shuffle')
_ArrayShuffle($randomnumber)
_ArrayDisplay($randomnumber, 'post-shuffle')

Thank you Danp2! Have a blessed day!

My question was obviously rhetorical.  I was trying to help you learn how to help yourself.  If you did the search that I suggested and still didn't find anything, then you are a MORON!

nobody needs people like you in a forum. if you're not willing to answer, or if you just had a bad day, please don't reply at all the next time. thanks.

@uvlights,

I do understand the emotions one gets when when being told that you could have searched and find the answer yourself, but don't you agree there's also some truth in that statement and did you really try to search ? (No need to answer this here, but rather only to yourself. The real answer is shown when you click the link)

Here's my advice to you: don't start the "you don't belong here"  battle in public unless you know who you are dealing with, and simply ignore comments when you don't like them. 😉

PS: There is no need to make 2 reports on posts you don't like....   one will suffice and welcome to the Internet in case these posts are bothering you.
