8.3.15 Randomize Statement

Initializes the random-number generator.
 

Syntax

Randomize [number]

number
Any valid numeric expression.

Remarks

Randomize uses number to initialize the Rnd function random-number generator, giving it a new seed value. If you omit number, the value returned by the system timer is used as the new seed value.
 
If Randomize is not used, the Rnd function (with no arguments) uses the same number as a seed the first time it is called, and thereafter uses the last generated number as a seed value.
 

Note

To repeat sequences of random numbers, call Rnd with a negative argument immediately before using Randomize with a numeric arguments. Using Randomize with the same value for number does not repeat the previous sequence.
