Random Returns Pseudo-Random Value
Random : Real; [TP]
Random(Max : Integer) : Integer; [TP]
If no maximum parameter is specified, this function returns a (pseudo)
random real value in the range 0.0 to (but not including) 1.0. If Max
is specified, this function returns a (pseudo) random integer value in
the range 0..Max-1.
Max An integer value (constant, variable, function call or
expression).
Limits: none
Note: Note that Random (Max) = Trunc (Random * Max);
-------------------------------- Example ---------------------------------
X := Random; { 0.0 <= X < 1.0 }
I := Random(1000); { 0 <= I < 1000 }
