Purpose:Generate  a random integer, bool, float, char, or string.

 

Format:RANDOM [/I start, end] /[B] [/F start, end, precision] [/C start, end]  [/S start, end, length] [/D n]

 

Usage:

 

RANDOM can generate a variety of random output - integers, booleans, floating point numbers, characters, or strings.

 

See also @RANDOM.

 

Examples:

 

To create a random integer between 5 and 15:

 

random /i 5, 15

 

To create a random float between 1.7 and 2.6, to 5 decimal places:

 

random /f 1.7, 2.6, 5

 

Options:

 

/B - Create a boolean (0 or 1)

 

/C start, end - Create a character between (inclusive) the characters start and end.

 

/D n - Roll an n sided dice.

 

/F start, end, precision - Create a floating point number >= start and <= end, with precision decimal places. Start and end can be integers or floats.

 

/I start, end - Create an integer >= start and <= end. The start and end arguments are signed 64-bit values.

 

/S start, end, length Create a string composed of characters between start and end (inclusive).
