Random function


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys!

I was just playing around with this awesome application but I cant seem to figure out the random function. I need to create a random number between 30 000 000 and 60 000 000 and write it back to a variable, the right approach would be :

Random, $var1, 30000000, 60000000

But I cant get this to work. Any help would be appriciated.

Thanks in advance.

something like

$var1 = Random(30000000, 60000000)

Also look at the help file for the functions that you want to use and it will give you some type of example.

I believe this would be correct if you were using AutoHotKeys, here is the syntax for this:

Random ( [Min [, Max [, Flag]]] )oÝ÷ Øw«{ljw±jjey«­¢+ÙI¹½´ ÌÀÀÀÀ°ØÀÀÀÀ¤oÝ÷ Øw«z+-ç±jjeyúèØ^éi~)^jëh×6;Flip of coin
If Random() < 0.5 Then  ; Returns a value between 0 and 1.
    $msg = "Heads. 50% Win"
Else
    $msg = "Tails. 50% Loss"
Endif
MsgBox(0,"Coin toss", $msg )


;Roll of a die
msgBox(0, "Roll of die", "You rolled a " & Random(1, 6, 1) )

$StockPrice = 98
;In the middle of a stock market simulation game
$StockPriceChange = Random(-10, 10, 1)  ; generate an integer between -10 and 10
$StockPrice = $StockPrice + $StockPriceChange
If $StockPriceChange < 0 Then
    MsgBox(4096, "Stock Change", "Your stock dropped to $" & $StockPrice)
ElseIf $StockPriceChange > 0 Then
    MsgBox(4096, "Stock Change", "Your stock rose to $" & $StockPrice)
Else
    MsgBox(4096, "Stock Change", "Your stock stayed at $" & $StockPrice)
Endif


;Random letter
If Random() < 0.5 Then
    ;Capitals
    $Letter = Chr(Random(Asc("A"), Asc("Z"), 1))
Else
    ;Lower case
    $Letter = Chr(Random(Asc("a"), Asc("z"), 1))
Endif

Umm that's AutoHotkey code. Make sure you're actually using the right scripting language's forum in the first place. :whistle:

Are you sure it's not AutoIt v2?

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.
