Random Range Feature

How about something like this if possible.

Random>{500, 1000},Result

Result would return a random number between 500 and 1,000.

Is this no good?

Random>500,Result
Let>Result=Result+500

Thank you for taking the time reading my post, Marcus.
Your example works just fine. That's what I've been doing all this time. Well, I use the Add function instead of Let.

I was just thinking that the ability to set the random range inside the random function would eliminate the extra line of code plus less typing for us lazy folks

Again, thanks for reading my post.

Why don't you make a subroutine:

Code: Select all

GoSub>RandomRange,500,1000
MessageModal>RandomRange_Result

SRT>RandomRange
  Let>ZeroedRange=RandomRange_Var_2-RandomRange_Var_1
  Random>ZeroedRange,RandomRange_Result
  Let>RandomRange_Result=RandomRange_Result+RandomRange_Var_1
End>RandomRange

Wack that subroutine into an Include file or something and then in future you will save all that extra typing ;-)
