LOTUSSCRIPT LANGUAGE

Randomize statement
Example

Seeds (initializes) the random number generator.

Syntax

Randomize [ numExpr ]

Elements

numExpr

Any numeric expression. If you omit

numExpr

, Randomize uses the return value from Timer.

Usage

Use Randomize to seed the random number generator before calling Rnd to generate a number.

If you use Randomize with numExpr and then repeatedly call Rnd with no arguments, LotusScript returns the same sequence of random numbers every time you run the script. To generate a different sequence of random numbers each time you run the script, do one of the following:

Use a variable numExpr to make sure that Randomize receives a different seed value every time the script is executed.
Use Randomize with no numExpr. This seeds the random number generator with the return value from Timer.

The particular sequence of random numbers generated from a given seed depends on the platform where you are running LotusScript.
