1051 - Is there a way to set the seed number for the random number generator?

by - Joseph Ganci


Is there a way to set the seed number for the random number generator?

You can multiply the random number with another number, such as the value of the system variable called systemseconds, after which you will need to bring the result back into the range that is required. I think the random number in generator is random enough already, but if you want to be a little more sure, try something like:

num := Round(MOD(Random(1, 100, 1) * SystemSeconds, 100))

That will give you a number between 1 and 100. Whether it's more random than the regular Random function is a good exercise to try! ;-)
