\section{Standard Module \sectcode{rand}}

\stmodindex{rand}
|
|
|
|
The \code{rand} module simulates the C library's \code{rand()}
|
|
interface, though the results aren't necessarily compatible with any
|
|
given library's implementation. While still supported for
|
|
compatibility, the \code{rand} module is now considered obsolete; if
|
|
possible, use the \code{whrandom} module instead.
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{choice}{seq}
|
|
Returns a random element from the sequence \var{seq}.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{rand}{}
|
|
Return a random integer between 0 and 32767, inclusive.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{srand}{seed}
|
|
Set a starting seed value for the random number generator; \var{seed}
|
|
can be an arbitrary integer.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
