small help with random

[t0ddie 0]

$flash = random(0,1)

i want the value of flash to be "0" or "1" and this wasnt working. i put a message box in there, and its splitting it into decimals.

how do i make it just whole numbers? so i get one or zero, and not some decimal in between them like

0.687234987234

thanks

Also use the Round function to make it whole numbers only.

Little example here

Untested, but should work :

$nr = Random(0,1)
$nr = Round($nr,0)

MsgBox(64,"0/1",$nr)

PS!

It`s always smart to check the "Related"-functions when wondering

about a function. Under Random you would have found Round...

If you have to calc a single number it does not change, but otherwise it is much better using Int() than Round() since it is much faster.

I made a small func, it may be useful often.

MsgBox(0,'',_RandomInt(0,1))

Func _RandomInt($iMin,$iMax)
   If $iMax < $iMin Then Return Int($iMin)
   
   Return Int(Random($iMin,$iMax + 1))
EndFunc
