I've got a random number function that generates 3 random numbers between 0 and 10. I was just wondering if there was a way to exclude the value that was found before it? For example:
Random(0) = Int(Rnd() * 10)
Random(1) = Int(Rnd() * 10) 'Here i want to keep it as 10 values but exclude the value of Random(0)

I'm trying to create a function that can be use to generate random number but with percentage.For example, random number between 1,2 and 3.For 1 = 30%, 2 = 50%, and 3 = 20%I will use that function in mini games that I will create. I've tried to search but I cant find one. A function of vb.net random() doesnt have percentage right?
View 5 RepliesI need to use the randomize function to generate a random number between 1 and 50 for lblNum1 and lblNum2, ensuring that lblNum1 is greater than lblNum2, otherwise the randomize function needs to run again for lblNum2. I need to ensure that the user has selected an option from the gbCalcType and cboGrade first, and then the randomize function should run when the user clicks the button named btnBeginGame. How do I do this? I have this so far that generates the random numbers when the btnBeginGame is clicked:

I'm supposed to make an app where computer generates a random number using a function and then the user has to guess the number. If they get it right, they see a picture.... If they get it wrong the loop keeps going until ten guesses are up.. I'm running into quite a few problems...
1. I don't know how to tell if the photo will show up if the number is right because right now I have it set to false in the form, so it dosen't show up but in my loop I included the code that SHOULD allow it to show up if both numbers are the same.... Not sure if this is correct...
2. I have a textbox that is supposed to keep track of the number of guesses but the message automatically becomes Game Over and the guesses go up to 11 as soon as I click the Are You Right Button?
3. When I try to debug, my app freezes and I don't know why...

I've read numerous posts and threads about random number generation, but I havent' run across this.If I generate a bunch of random numbers, the results are radically different if I create a new Random generator for each number than if I use on Random generator for all the numbers. The results are much more consistent and evenly distributed if I use the same Random generator.I would have thought the opposite,because creating a new Random generator each time should reduce the number of random repetitions, if a different time slice is used to create the random number.[code]......

View 3 RepliesI am attempting to create a game in Visual Studio 2008 that allows a user 10 attempts to guess a random number between 1 and 50. I have a label box in which I would like to display the remaining guesses as they decrement. The code so far appears below.
My two (I am sure very basic) questions are:
1. How would I pass the random integer generated through the Generate Integer function to the AmIRight button's click function? I was trying to decrement the counter each time the "Am I Right " button is pressed.
2. I would also like to evaluate each "guess" when the "Am I right button is pressed. Is it possible to nest a Select Case statement in a For Next Loop?

i wanted to create a random number generator that iterates through a series of number between an upper and lower bound. say between 1 and 100. Basically I want the number generator to pick the numbers randomly and then display them until all 100 numbers are picked without any duplicates. so thats easy I can code that. But what I don't know is how to show those numbers in the order they are generated on a windows form. So i have basically a variable that I will let be changed 100 times (or however many times I want, I don't want their to be a size constraint just using 100 as an example) and each time the number is generated I want it displayed on screen (in a list or something not sure what. Hopefully some type of scrollable list) and each successive number also to be displayed in same format beneath it so that I can see the list in its entirety. What type of form control do i use for that? I could do messagebox.show for each iteration but then user is required to hit ok after each iteration and that would obviously be a bad idea if user selected a large number to work through. Anyways, code isn't exactly necessary just point me in the right direction, i.e.what control (if any) to use.how to format the change in data?

I don't understand how to save the user selected numbers, let the computer generate 6 random numbers, and match the two sets of numbers together to see how many matches there are. As far as I understand the numbers should be stored in 2 separate arrays and then matched together to find any matches.
I have this program generating a firstname and lastname from a file. When I run this program I enter information in three textboxes. The first two are the salary low and high(salary1.text, salary2.text) and the last one is the number of "copies"(copies.text) that I want.. When I put a number such as 10 in the text box it outputs some of the same names. The firstname file has around 100 records and the lastname file has about 1000 records Why is it generating the same name The problem is even worse if I do something like 1000 copies.. it outputs the same thing 8 times and then does something different another 8 times

View 6 RepliesVS2010 (SP1) / .NET 4 on Windows XP. The question is simple, the answer; not so much. When generating a salt, should the LENGTH of the salt be random, fixed or a random number within a (min/max) range? I am using RNGCryptoServiceProvider to generate the salt, just unsure of the length of the salt.
View 12 Repliesis there a way to generate a random number and then display that number?
like for example i want to say "i got # - # pencils" or something like that
I heard that you have to add some code to a random number generator
results(1) = Int((5 - 1 + 1) * Rnd() + 1)
so that if it is used again and again it keeps generating new numbers as apposed to what this piece of code does by itself which is creates the same number every time.what is the code?

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong; but this has been driving me crazy for a while now.I've made a small Silverlight game (an old Galaxian clone). When the game starts ~90% of the time, a bunch of stars are randomly positioned in the game area. There are three types of stars - bigger stars more faster, smaller stars move slower.

What I can't get to work correctly is the following. I have a textbox for the min and max. The way I have it setup is when it generates it I have a MessageBox show it but it pulls the same number a few times in a row.
