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

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

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 = 10Re: Random function on Mac is different than on Windows
