how to use random..

[zutto]

yeah

i know howto use with letters & numbers..

but i have no idea howto use with - and +.. need for my script to chose randomly between + and - :S

any ideas?

[PsaltyDS]

but i have no idea howto use with - and +.. need for my script to chose randomly between + and - :S

any ideas?

$sSign = "+"

If Random(0,1,1) Then $sSign = "-"

Or, since we're having a geek fest with this:

$sSign = Chr(43 + (2 * Random(0,1,1)))

Or the SmOke_N way:

$sSign = StringRegExpReplace("+-", "(\+)(\-)", "\" & Random(1,2,1))

Edit: Rats! He already posted it!

If Random(1,3) > 2 Then 
    $sign = "-" 
Else
    $sign = "+" 
EndIf

Local $a_add_sub[2] = ["-", "+"]
MsgBox(0, "", Execute( 8 & $a_add_sub[Random(0, 1, 1)] & 10))

[Jos]

There must be more options than these ..

Someone say geek?

MsgBox(0, 0, StringRegExpReplace("-+", "(.)(.)", "\" & Random(1, 2, 1)))

I don't like casting the sign to character.

If you have a given number and you want its sign to randomly change then...

$num = 666
If Random(0,1,1) Then $num *= -1
ConsoleWrite($num & @CRLF)

I used this method with bcx.

MsgBox(0, 0, StringRegExpReplace("-+", "(.)(.)", "\" & Random(1, 2, 1)))

No, we are recovering geeks.

No, we are recovering geeks.

I don't go to meetings...

Edit:

And I never made it past step 1 anyway!

Wouldn't this have been simpler with StringMid you regex nerd?

[Jos]

I still prefer the "normal" approach

Still don't like to regex thingies when relaxing after a days work.

StringMid("-+",Random(1,2,1),1)

Edit: i see I am not the only one that likes the sweet and simple approach

Why use 10 string functions when you only need 1? I may be the nerd, but at least I'm consistent

When you say 10, that is binary right?

[Bert]

@SmoKE - You are at a meeting! what do you think this forum is?

[SmOke_N]

Missing a few chars there for binary I think ...

Hell I'm the president of my chapter then.

Nay, I say you should find the length of the memory space for the running application, then read a random location in the application. If the value is < 128, then it's negative, if >= 128, positive.

Sorry, I don't have a code example because I just got my hand slammed in a truck door and I can't type really well yet.

Good Idea!

I'll add that to this after I eat lunch
