PureBasic Forums - English

I think splitting the community across diiferent forums would be disadvantageous.

The PureBasic Discord server is not a forum. It is more a newer alternative to the old IRC, where you can share media more easily. We're idling there for quite a while already. It's not a replacement, but an ...

Pseudo random number generators (PRNGs) are state machines and the seed sets that state. You're setting the state randomly based on the previous random state. Some PRNG algorithms use the previous random number directly as state.

If you had a changing step depending on the order of start/end values you would have to add "Step 1" for the case when your end value potentially overflows the integer space.

Hence an implicit change of behavior depending on the begin/end values would lead to the question "why is the for loop ...
