Does anyone know how to increase the variables of the INT(RND* #) -#
What I mean is I need the randomize timer to produce numbers from 1 to
something like 1000. Please help. For Qbasic.

Deloris,

        I'm fairly new with QBasic, but this might help.

CLS
RANDOMIZE TIMER
start TIMER
 FOR k% = 1 TO 1000
   product = 1.23 * 4.56
next k%
finish=timer
PRINT " Elasped time:"; finish - start
END

hope this helps

Is  Lamaal asking how to generate numbers from 1 to 1000?  If so, you don't
need the TIMER to do that.  To generate a random number from 1 - 1000, use

INT(1000 +ACo- RND) +- 1

  RandomInteger = INT(RND * N) + 1

So the original poster can get random integers from 1 to 1000 by using:

  RandomInteger = INT(RND * 1000) + 1

FUNCTION fRND%( Low%, High% )

  fRND% = ( RND * (High%-Low%) ) + Low%

END FUNCTION

RANDOMIZE TIMER only sets the 'SEED' number to whatever value the TIMER
function returns and is generally used to ensure different results each time
the program is run.

   First, remember to use:

   RANDOMIZE TIMER

   in your program to seed the random number generator before you use the
   RND function in your program. One formula for generating random numbers
   is:

   High% = 1000  ' highest number that can occur
   Low% = 1      ' lowest number that can occur
   ARndNumber% = INT((High% - Low% + 1) * RND + Low%)

   Hope that helps. Good luck!
