	What's the difference between the rand/randh/randi family of opcodes and the random/randomh/randomi family of opcodes? They have slightly different syntax, but appear to serve identical purposes. Is one preferable to the other? -- Matthew Skala mskala@ansuz.sooke.bc.ca People before principles. http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/

	random* lets you specify specific max/min ranges. rand* does values between 0 and 1 -P On Mon, Feb 17, 2014 at 3:00 PM, <mskala@ansuz.sooke.bc.ca> wrote: What's the difference between the rand/randh/randi family of opcodes and the random/randomh/randomi family of opcodes?

But that's what I meant by syntax differences. Are there any more substantive differences, for instance in the PRNG algorithms used? -- Matthew Skala mskala@ansuz.sooke.bc.ca People before principles. http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/
