 		 #61390 - RE: Random number from 1 to 8
Responding to: ???'s previous message
hi,
Save This Code
newRand = 1 + rand()%8;
or
Save This Code
newRand = 1 + rand()&7;
The qustion is is my newRand variable as good random as the rand() function?
depend on what do you call "good". I preffer to use own pseudo-random function based on shift-register with XOR gates. A timer low byte is used as the start value (except zero of course) when some event occures from user manipulation.
