Stored procedures
Initializes the generator of random numbers.
Example
// Initialize the generator of random numbers
InitRandom()
Syntax
InitRandom(<n>)
<n>: Integer
Base number for the generator of random numbers.
If this parameter is not specified, the generator of random numbers is based on the system time (hundredths of a second).
Remarks
  • If InitRandom is not called, the random values generated by Random will be the same whenever the program is run.
  • If InitRandom is called successively, identical sequences will be returned because InitRandom uses the system time to generate sequences of random numbers.
  • Using the <n> parameter does not necessarily guarantee to get different sequences.
Business / UI classification: Neutral code
