Random Number Generation - Casio fx-9860G Series User Manual

k Random Number Generation (Ran#)
This function generates a 10-digit truly random or sequentially random number that is greater
than zero and less than 1.
• A truly random number is generated if you do not specify anything for the argument.
Ran# (Generates a random number.)
(Each press of w generates a new random
number.)
• Specifying an argument from 1 to 9 generates random numbers based on that sequence.
• Specifying an argument of 0 initializes the sequence.*
Ran# 1 (Generates the fi rst random number in sequence 1.)
(Generates the second random number in sequence 1.)
Ran# 0 (Initializes the sequence.)
Ran# 1 (Generates the fi rst random number in sequence 1.)
1
* Changing to a different sequence or
generating a totally random number (without
an argument) initializes the sequence.
