random: Random number generation

This module contains functions for creating pseudo-random numbers.

Functions

Random(n as Int) as Int

Return a pseudo-random integer in range 0, 1, ..., n − 1.

RandomFloat() as Float

Return a pseudo-random float x so that 0 <= x < 1.

Seed([seed as Int])

Initialize the random number generator with the specified seed. If two program instances initialize the random number generator with the same seed value, the generated random numbers are equivalent if the same sequence of function calls is used to generate the random numbers. If the seed is missing, the seed value is taken from the current system time.

Note: Different random numbers may be generated on different operating systems and on different versions of the Alore runtime.
