simply type

variable=rnd([Highest Number Wanted])

for example if you type

a=rnd(5)

then "a" will be eather 0,1,2,3,4,or 5... or if you type

number#=rnd(15)

then "number#" will be 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14, or 15... i hope this helps.

Again a good post on this was lottery by mark3d, lots of good examples were given.

It's not the size of your code but how efficiently you use it!

Important: Before you use rnd(), use randomize timer() at the start of your program, or the numbers won't be very random.
