Random Numbers

[operarooster]

I am doing an elementary school math game and I need the action scripting code for selecting random numbers.

I have used the code "variable" = random (10) for numbers
0-10, but I find that I don't need the 0. Please let me know how I can write the script that only selects numbers between 1-9. I have tried everything. Thanks so much.

dunno if this will help... but give it a go:

"variable" = random(10) + 1;

i believe since random(10) produces 0-9, adding the + 1 will make it 1-10.

if you don't want decimal numbers (i.e, 1.2345677) then try this:

"variable" = Math.round(random(10)+1);

I'm only a newbie so this was my best shot at it.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong or point out a better way to do it.

Thanks and good luck.

oops....for numbers 1-9 do this.

"variable" = random(9) + 1;

or

"variable" = Math.round(random(9) + 1);
