I'm trying to solve a problem. I want to create a bunch of numbers, from 1 to 40. But i want the numbers to be created in random order, and the same number must NOT appear twice.

My suggestion:
For X=1 to 40 step 1
NewNumber:
Number(X)=Rnd(39)+1
For Test=1 to X-1 step 1
If Number(X)=Number(test) then goto NewNumber
Next Test
Next X

But isnt there an easier way of doing it?

This Is Probably The Shortest Way:


Same code just without using the "Step" command. "For" loops go up by increments by 1, by default, so theres no need for the "Step" command in this case. I don't see how you could write the code any shorter than what you already have .
