Question about 'random' - Shetch - 07.04.2012

Hey guys!

I have a question about the 'random' function.
How could i make the server select a random number for example in between 600 and 800.

Like the random for example would be 756. It would never go over 800 or below 600.

stock randomrange( min, max ) {
    return min + random( max );
}

that went out harsher than I intended.. I mean that the code is easy to understand if you put a bit of brain into it.

here's the code that's set on a one second timer.

Код:

	new number;
	number = randomrange(600, 800);
	
	printf("%d", number);

I'm sorry!

pawn Код:

stock randomrange( min, max ) {
    return random( max - min + 1) + min;
}

got confused.

Re: Question about 'random' - Jonny5 - 07.04.2012

thats because random returns a number between 0 and max

so using his code it will get a random range between 0 and 800
and then it adds 600 to it... not sure how it was ever suppose to work

this should work not tested.

pawn Код:

stock randomrange( min, max ) {
    return min + random( max - min) + 1;
}

Re: Question about 'random' - ReneG - 07.04.2012

Or this...?

pawn Код:

#define randomEx(%0,%1)             (random((%1) - (%0)) + (%0))

Just used my common sense, dunno if it works.
