randomSeed

Syntax

the randomSeed 

Description

System property; specifies the seed value used for generating random numbers accessed through the random() function.

Using the same seed produces the same sequence of random numbers. This property can be useful for debugging during development. Using the ticks property is an easy way to produce a unique random seed since the ticks value is highly unlikely to be duplicated on subsequent uses.

This property can be tested and set.

Example

This statement displays the random seed number in the Message window:

put the randomSeed
