RANDOMIZE
Chapter —Program Instructions
Purpose Statement for reseeding the random number generator, optionally with a
specified value.
Syntax RANDOMIZE[]
is the integer (0 -99999999) with which the random number
generator will be reseeded
Remarks If no value is specified, a message will appear asking you to enter a value
between 0 and 99,999,999.
Examples In the following example, no reseeding integer is specified in the program.
Thus a prompt will appear, asking you to do so:
10 RANDOMIZE
20 A%=RANDOM1,100)
30 PRINT A%
RUN
Random Number Seed (0 to 99999999) ?
Enter 555
yields for example:
36
When the reseeding integer is specified, no prompt will appear:
10 RANDOMIZE 556
20 A%=RANDOM(1,100)
30 PRINT A%
RUN
yields for example:
68
A higher degree of randomization will be obtained in the random integer
generator is reseeded with a more or less random integer, for example provided
by a TICKS function:
10 A%=TICKS
20 RANDOMIZE A%
30 B%=RANDOM(1,100)
40 PRINT B%
RUN
yields for example:
42
