Author Topic:   Random Number Question....

Basically, what I want to do is have a random number selected (a large range, say 1 out of 10,000) and then displayed on the screen. I think I understand how to use a "random" function, but I don't know how to get the number selected to be printed on the screen. Any help would be appreciated, thx.

You would have to do something like
int &randomnum = random(10000, 0);
say_xy("random num is &randomnum" 70, 80);
NOTE: 70 is the x axis value, and y is the y axis value of where the text will be printed. You can change these to any value you wish.
