Non-Repeating Random Numbers?
May 23, 2010
I'm working on a Bingo game that generates a random letter and number.
Dim RandN As New Random()
Dim randnumber = RandN.Next(1, 30)
Dim RandL As New Random()
Dim randletter = RandL.Next(1, 5)
All that works, but I'd like it not to repeat a combination. Any tips on how to do that?
Also the random numbers tend to be repetitive and the random letter is never 5. I think the random number has been 30 before but I can't be sure. Is there a way to fix that or just a better way to do the random numbers?

Why is my application messing up? I'm trying to make non-repeating random numbers and then insert them into a listbox. Check my code out:
Dim RandomNumber As String
Dim x As Integer

Ok im making a program that throws three dice at once. Several results end with a score but a few result in a no score. in the case of a no score (Example: the dice land on 4,1,6) i want the dice to be thrown again. If there's 3 no scores in a row then it counts as a loss.I have no clue how to get it to repeat after a no score or to limit i
Current code sample:
Dim oppscore As Integer
Randomize()

I am writing a matching program, and need 24 objects to randomly appear, each twice, across 48 spaces. I figured the best way for me to do this would be to assign the positions a number 1 through 48. but the problem is I can't find a way to generate a random number sequence in visual basic 9 .netI found many examples in visual basic .net but the conversion doesn't work. If not some code, many some example programs that either use a random number sequence or randomly sets the position of objects.

I have this code:
Public Class Form1
Private HowManytoGenerate As Integer
Private HowManyDone As Integer
[code]...
The batch section should generate a new random value and write it every time it do the loop, but...It is repeating values. There are more than one line with the same value. What I'm doing wrong?

I have an array that hold 6 random number, then this numbers are sorted from smallest to highest. My question is: How would I go about replacing any repeating numbers with a different random number. I.e. 1 3 7 2 2 9 is sorted into 1 2 2 3 7 9, but I would like to see one of the 2's replaces with a different number (that it is not currently in the array).
I have no code for this part - but the code for making the random number, storing them and sorting them works fine.

Basically I have 7 labels on a form that I randomize into numbers between 0 and 49. However some of the numbers repeat, like this 1,4,8,14,14,50,12. [Code]

The class Random is out right defective. It always produces the same random numbers in the same sequence. Things I have tried so far is every kind of seed you can think of as well as Randomize. The result is that I always get the same random numbers in exactly the same sequence.

So how would I use .next (random numbers) to randomly select something from a list of numbers but it can't repeat the number?I could do:
dim num as integer
dim r as new random
num = r.next(1,5)
if num = 1 then
elseif num = 2 then
etc.
That wouldn't work because it would repeat.If I donwload someone's game can I disect it in VS? :0 I tried going to open project, then I went to the folder and clicked open. It brought me inside of the folder so I tried to open the game but there is no form1 there. It says the games name then .exe in the explorer-like thing in the top right?Also, how would I have a value or something in a label and access it from a button.
Example:This is in a label.
Dim number as Integer
number = 0
Then in the button do
Label.number = 0
How would I do something like that? I want to use that a lot as I did in a different language.

The program must generate 6 unique random numbers but when I click display numbers sometimes it gives me 6 unique numbers and sometimes I get duplicate numbers. I will add the code I have so far.
Public Class frmMain
Private Sub btnExit_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnExit.Click

I don't take programming lessons at school or anything, and I'm starting to (try to) teach myself about random things.Currently I'm making an app that has 3 functions:
-Random Integer (1 to 100)
-Random Answer (Yes or No, similar to a coin flip)
-Random Dice Roll (1 to 6)
How would I go about doing this?At the moment all I know about random numbers etc. is that I will need to do something along the lines of Dim dice As New Random or something like that, but, like I mentioned, I have no idea.I am well aware of the DIC rules that you won't write the code for me/do my "homework(?)" for me, and that's not what I'm asking.

Basically, I want to divide two numbers together and they should be 2 random numbers from 1-12 (I have done that part) but, the answer should be a whole number (i.e. Integer, so no decimal points etc) So, I did the following:
' Initialize the random-number generator.
Randomize()
' Generate random value between 1 and 12.
Dim value5 As Integer = CInt(Int((12 * Rnd()) + 1))
[code]....
but the problem here is that the program crashes after only a few clicks on the button. So I guess the question is: How can I make the program generate two numbers (from 1-12) that when divided become a whole number?(Is there any code that may tell the random generator that I want the numbers to be even?-so all even numbers from 1-12?)

i want to know how to generate 7 "differents" random numbers.
I need to use a tab() with 7 entries and verify(with a loop?) if the generated number is or not present in the the table, if not then increment a counter by 1 and add the number in the table and increment the table position by 1 for the next randomized number.
Im not sure how to do the verification, so far all i have is a function i made for the random number between min and max:
Private Function randGen(ByVal min As Integer, ByVal max As Integer)
Dim random As New Random()
Dim i As Integer
[Code]....

I want to get random numbers between 0 to 100..But i do not want the random number to be repeated.
Private Sub Form2_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim objRand As New Random
objRand.Next(0, 100)
End Sub
Suppose first time random numb generated is 10..Next time if same random number is generated,den i want to get the other random number..I want to get all the numbers b/w 1 to 100..but only one time

I am writing an application that needs several random numbers. Each time I use the Rnd() function, do I need to precede it with the Randomize() initializer?Or can I just use Randomize() once at the beginning of the code?Examples: Do I need to do it this way?

'm attempting a program and need to generate 10 random numbers between 1 and 52. However all the numbers must be different. I'm trying this in a For Loop. I'm not terribly amazing at this so all I have so far is:
Dim B, I, J, max, min, card() As Interger
max = 52
min = 1
Randomise()
[Code].....
What am I doing wrong and what is the ultimately simple solution I know the internet can provide for me?

i have a few questions about generating random numbers:1) is it possible for the programme to generate a random number that it has previously generated (i.e could it produce the same number more than once?)2) can you specify what numbers to generate? e.g only whole numbers up to 1000?
