Random number generated on a 32sii

[Charles]

Have any of you written a random number generating program for a 32sii? Specifically generating an integer between say 1 to 5? I don't have the manual and wonder if it could be already in existance?

Best regards,
Charles

It has a random number generator from 0 to 1(Prob -> R). Couldn't you just use a linear transform of that, i.e.,

Your Random Number = 1 + (4*R)

I think you would need to compute 1+int(5*R) to get a random integer in the range 1..5. Most random number generators produce fractions from zero to one, including zero but not including one.

Hi!

Try it:

LBL R        #random

INPUT N      #how many Nums?

INPUT I      #mInimum?

INPUT A      #mAximum?

LBL J        #jump here

RCL A

RCL sub I

1

add

RANDOM

mul

IP

RCL add I

PSE         #put another PSE, if it too fast

DSE N

GTO J

RTN

'add', 'sub', 'mul', 'div' mean

'add', 'substract', 'multiple' and 'divide' in this order.
