@Gary Q2, duniform( number left side, right side of the interval, number of the. random number stream) if you are looking for discrete values.

uniform( left side or minimum value, right side or maximum value, random number stream) for a continuous floating number interval as double.

double numberRandom = uniform(0,1,0); // random interval ]0..1[
print(numberRandom); // print random number

@Gary Q2

A random whole number a random decimal number, what? If you are wanting a random whole number between 1 and 100, you would write something like this:

print(duniform(1, 100)); //Prints the number to the output console

Is this what you are looking for?

Generate numbers from 0 to 1, I do not print the numbers in the output console: the code you used was in the triggers on exit tab double ran = randnext (1); pf (ran); pt (""); What error is there ?? @Jeff Nordgren

@Gary Q2,

uniform(0,1) will give a real number between 0 and 1.

@Gary Q2,

Not exactly sure what you are after. The answers that @Ben Wilson and @Jörg Vogel gave seem to answer your question. If they don't answer your question, can you explain why they don't?

Thanks.
