randomize

Hello,
randomize is a function in vbscript.
What is the function for vb ?

(I have tried to use that command in the script in web-service of .net,
which used VB and not VBScript).

Thanks :)

Have a look at the System.Random class. It provides better support for
random numbers than the classic VB functions.

If you want to keep using the classic functions, though, you can use
"Randomize. "

I don't know VBscript, but in VB.Net you can use

Microsoft.Visua lBasic.VBMath.R andomize
There is also the System.Random class.

try this for vb6

dim d
d=rnd * 100
debug.print d
rnd will always return a float value between 0 and 1

'Randomize' won't return a pseudo-random number in VBScript. You have to
use 'Rnd' to generate the number.

I'm trying to determine the best way to randomize a set of array items. I'm thinking that I could use an arraylist and have it use the lower and upper bounds as the limits. Any suggestions? Cheers, Steve

Here is what I am trying for randomizing 2 numbers in the same subroutine so that they are not equal to each other: Dim j As Integer, k As Integer j = New System.Random().Next(0, 10) k = New System.Random().Next(0, 10) But j and k are always equal to each other. So I through in Randomize( ) but that did not help. Is it possible to randomize 2 different numbers in the same sub so that they are not equal to each other? How to do this?

I can get one sound to play for the keypress event, but don't know how to play multiple sounds. Here's the codes for playing one sound...

Hi, I'ved spent two full days trying to find a solution, I can randomize numbers between two ranges and it works fine, But my problem is when i want to randomize five numbers that I got. eg. I randomize 1-100 and I get 50. I randomize 1-900 on another input field and I get 578. I randomize 2-56 and get 31. " " and get 43. " " and get 78. So I have five numbers: 50, 578, 31, 43 and 78.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
