Siebel VB Language Reference > Methods Reference for Siebel VB > Mathematical Methods > Get Random Number MethodThe Get Random Number method returns a single-precision, pseudo-random number between 0 and 1 depending on the following value that you specify in the number argument:
Because this method always uses the same algorithm and the same seed value to create a number, it creates a pseudo-random number rather than a true random number. The number it creates appears to be random unless it runs a very large number of iterations, at which point a pattern of numbers might emerge. For practical purposes, you can consider this pseudo-random number to fulfill the requirements you might have to create a random number. FormatThe following table describes the arguments that you can use with this method. ExampleFor an example, see Randomize Method. |
