Die roll

[Ian Cairns]

You are welcome Lance.
This venue has helped me many times. I don't even have to ask the questions (and show how ignorant I really am ), because someone else always seems to find the hard parts first.
Thanks,

Thanks Ian.

Folks, if you are not using the latest version of a PowerBASIC compiler, please make that fact known when posting questions (our clairvoyant is away due to unforseen circumstances!).

Thanks!

Lance's function is good for PB 3.5, but if you use an older version, you should use a function wrapper similar to this:

FUNCTION RndRange(BYVAL First AS LONG, BYVAL Last AS LONG) AS LONG
' Return a Random Long between First and Last
  FUNCTION = MIN%(last,first) + RND * ABS(Last-First)
END FUNCTION

'Call for die:
  value = RndRange(1, 6)

Thanks, but it keeps giving me the error of

Error 414: ")" expected

Life without programming is pointless.

x& = RND(1,6)

What would be a good random for a die roll?? I made one long ago but i forget the commands needed.
ran(5)+1
