How do I write a program in BASIC to make random numbers and display them?

Here the code for basically random numbers:


RND(1).





To get numbers between 1 and 100 with integers only, use


INT(RND(1*100)+1





Some BASIC Compilers require the use of RANDOMIZE to do this, but this is the standard way.





INT(RND(1*50) + 1


Will get you a random integer between 1 and 50.





To set the random number in a variable,


YourRandomNumber=Int(Rnd(1*50)+1





RND is just the function to produce a random number with decimals, so I would use Rnd(1*50)+1 to get a number with decimals between 1 and 50.

Basic is really not used anymore, you use VBS - goto this site, there are programs like what your asking for - it's using Visual Basic Scripts (like Basic), Gw Basic was replaced with VBS sometime back
