welcome.

fltMyRandomVar as Float
Randomize Timer()
fltMyRandomVar=Rnd(9)+1

this will get you a random number from 1 and 10
rnd() actually returns integers from 0 to number specified so if you want to include zero, knock off the +1 part and change 9 to 10

hope this helps

Thank you however where would the algerbriac number be in that for example if you used that system how would you do something like this:

if a#=1 then print "dodo"
if a#=2 then print "modo"
if a#=3 then print "podo"
if a#=4 then print "sodo"
ect?

~As I said I do fall on my head allot...

use fltA instead of fltMyRandomVar. doesn't matter what you name it, a variable is a variable and it's the type that counts. Since you want A to be a # (float) then I would declare it

fltA as float

then fill it with:

Randomize Timer()
fltA=Rnd(9)+1

if fltA=1....
if fltA=2....
etc

but you should really use an integer for this so do:

intA as Integer
Randomize Timer()
intA=Rnd(9)+1

if intA=1....
if intA=2....
etc

no need to waste memory with a float when rnd() returns integers
