Random function on Mac is different than on Windows

[jack]

the Random function in PB for Windows accepts an optional minimum parameter but PB for Mac does not, an oversight?

[wilbert]

It seems to work fine when I try it on PB 5.11.

[jack]

I was using version 5.0, not too crazy about the changes in versions 5.10+ but will give it a try.
[edit] it works in version 5.11 [/edit]

The optional parameter was added in version 5.10 so that explains the problems you had.

You can use the following in v5.0...

Code: Select all

Procedure RandomRange(FromRange, ToRange)
 Range = ToRange - FromRange
  RandomRange = FromRange + Random(Range)
 ProcedureReturn RandomRange
EndProcedure

Loop = 0

Repeat
 
Loop +1 
 
RR = RandomRange(15, 30)

Debug RR

Until Loop = 10
