random
Examples
Arguments
limit [number]
Sets an initial upper limit to the random number generation. The output will always be between 0 and this maximum limit. If there is no argument, the limit is set to 1.
Inlets
trigger [bang]
A bang in the left inlet will generate a random number out the outlet.
limit [number]
Sets an initial upper limit to the random number generation. The output will always be between 0 and this maximum limit. If there is no argument, the limit is set to 1.
Outlets
result [number]
When a bang is received in the left inlet, random generates a random number between 0 and its maximum limit and sends that number out the outlet.
Dynamic Attributes
These attributes can be modified in the code during execution using the set object
limit [number]
Sets an initial upper limit to the random number generation. The output will always be between 0 and this maximum limit. If there is no argument, the limit is set to 1.
seed [number]
The @seed attribute is used to set a "seed" value for the random generator for predictable results. If no argument is specified, the time value will be used to initialize the seed.
trigger [bang]
A bang in the left inlet will generate a random number out the outlet.
