Required
Description
Default
seed
numeric
true
The number to seed the Random with
algorithm
string
false
The algorithm to use to generate the random number.
Examples
Tag Example
The following example calls the Randomize function to seed the random number generator and generates 10 random numbers.
<bx:set randomize( 12345 ) > <!--- if one was to remove this line, the random numbers are different every time --->
<bx:loop index="i" from="1" to="10">
<bx:output>#rand()#</bx:output>
</bx:loop> Additional Examples
writeDump( Randomize( 8, "SHA1PRNG" ) );
writeDump( Randomize( 10 ) >= 0 && Randomize( 10 ) <= 1 );
randomize( 55 );
bx:loop index="i" from="1" to="3" {
writeDump( rand() );
}
