kRandom Number Generation (Ran#)

This function generates a 10-digit truly random or sequentially random number that is greater than zero and less than 1.

• A truly random number is generated if you do not specify anything for the argument.

Example

Operation

Ran# (Generates a random number.)

K6(g)3(PROB)4(Ran#)w

(Each press of w generates a new random

w

number.)

w

 

 

•Specifying an argument from 1 to 9 generates random numbers based on that sequence.

•Specifying an argument of 0 initializes the sequence.*1

 

Example

Operation

Ran# 1

(Generates the first random number in sequence 1.)

K6(g)3(PROB)

 

 

4(Ran#)bw

(Generates the second random number in sequence 1.)

w

Ran# 0

(Initializes the sequence.)

4(Ran#)aw

Ran# 1

(Generates the first random number in sequence 1.)

4(Ran#)bw

 

 

 

*1 Changing to a different sequence or generating a totally random number (without an argument) initializes the sequence.
