RND

The RND function is used to generate a random number.

variable = RND

The RND function returns a single value less than 1 but greater than or equal to 0.

The same random-number sequence is generated each time the instruction is encountered because each successive call to the RND function uses the previous random number as a seed for the next number in the random-number sequence. To have the program generate a different random-number sequence each time it is run, use the Randomize statement with the Number argument assigned to a changing variable or expression to initialize the random-number generator with a different value before RND is called.
