random numbers

[greggklein]

How can I have autoit pick 10 different random numbers between 1-400 and make sure they are all different.

Thanks

#include<Array.au3>
Dim $array[10]

For $i = 0 to 9 
    Do 
        $temp = Random(1, 400, 1) 
    Until _ArraySearch($array, $temp) = -1 
    $array[$i] = $temp 
Next 

_ArrayDisplay($array)

Try to understand exactly what each statement of this code is doing. If you don't, ask.

took a sec to get it.... Nice!

easiest way

random(1,400,1) & random(1,400,1) & random(1,400,1) & random(1,400,1) & random(1,400,1) & random(1,400,1) & random(1,400,1) & random(1,400,1) & random(1,400,1) & random(1,400,1)

THANK YOU

I DO UNDERSTAND IT ALL!

random(1,400,1) & random(1,400,1) & random(1,400,1) & random(1,400,1) & random(1,400,1) & random(1,400,1) & random(1,400,1) & random(1,400,1) & random(1,400,1) & random(1,400,1)

NOT SURE THAT'S EASIER, BUT THANKS

That kind of ignores his condition that none of the numbers repeat.

what do you mean ?

He wanted:

10 different random numbers between 1-400 and make sure they are all different.

You're code won't necessarily generate 10 unique numbers, numbers could repeat. My code makes sure that no numbers repeat.

what's the differece ? you also use random in your code, and what make sure that your code won't give out a repeat number ?

The difference is that I gave what he wanted while you ignored half of his requisites for the the code he wanted. See this part:

Do
        $temp = Random(1, 400, 1)
    Until _ArraySearch($array, $temp) = -1

That loops until the number to be added isn't in the array; consequently 10 unique numbers are generated.

ok, got it
