Rand
Rand (Function)
Format
rand
rand ( )
returns float_expression
Description
Returns a random number between 0 and 1. The distribution of the values is uniform.
Note
To produce random numbers between other values, simple multiply or add the appropriate numbers. For example, to generate an integer between 0 and 10, use int(rand * 10).
Each call to rand is unrelated to the last. When you want values that vary smoothly instead — for terrain, clouds, textures or a wandering path — use noise.
