Randomize

Seeds the pseudo-random number generator with an integer number, ensuring repeatable number patterns.

Method Signature

Randomize(seed=[numeric], algorithm=[string])

Arguments

Argument	Type	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() );
}
