None
Parameters
Name |
Type |
Optional |

Number |

Yes |

Remarks
Values returned by the random number generator depend on an initial seed value.
For a given seed value, RND or RNDF always returns the same sequence of values, yielding a predictable pseudo-random number sequence. Thus, any program that depends on RND or RNDF will run exactly the same way each time unless a different seed is given.
