Generate a random number Outputs random numbers within the range between 0 and 1 less than the argument specified. Cycling '74 Max Math Causes Random Number Output TEXT_HERE Causes Random Number Output TEXT_HERE Random Number Output TEXT_HERE Initial limit Sets an initial limit to the random output. The output will always be between 0 and one less than this maximum limit. If there is no argument, the limit is initially set to 1, which causes random to output 0 whenever it receives a bang. Random generator seed value A second argument is used to set a "seed" value for the random generator. If no argument is specified, the time value will be used to initialize the seed. Output a random number In left inlet: Sends out a randomly generated number between 0 and one less than its maximum limit. Set the maximum limit In right inlet: The number is stored as the maximum limit for the random output. The output will always be between 0 and one less than this maximum limit. Seed the random generator In left inlet: The word seed, followed by a number, provides a "seed" value for the random generator, which causes a specific (reproducible) sequence of pseudo-random numbers to occur. The number 0 uses the time elapsed since system startup (an unpredictable value) as the seed, ensuring an unpredictable sequence of numbers. This unpredictable seed is used by default when the random object is created. When a bang is received in the left inlet, random generates a random number between 0 and one less than its maximum limit.
