Random : Number

The Random command returns random numbers between 0 and +2,147,483,647. (2^31). The algorithm has been checked for good uniformity and takes advantage of re-seeding itself from random events like the timer interrupt and keyboard input.

To get a random number in a specific range, use the Mod command.

Example:

 Write 'Pick a Number from 1 to 10 '
 Writeln (Random mod 10 + 1)
