Hello beautiful people,

i wanted to ask a question as i seem to be in a runt with it. I want to record the random generated values, i imagine it should have something to do with broadcast, but i run into a problem that the second random variable is generated, the first one gets rewritten, and i want to record them all, so later i could differentiate the order they were generated, from first to last.

Any help?

Thanks

This sounds like a great list-study project.
You do not need to broadcast anything.
I'll try to scratchblocks the algorithm for you:
list name: random_numbers

when gf clicked
delete [all v] of [random_numbers v]
repeat [10]
  add <pick random [1] to [10]> to [random_numbers v]
end

Then to recall one of those numbers you can do the following

set [foo v] to (item <pick random [1] to (length of [random_numbers v])> of [random_numbers v])

Ugh! Scratchblocks can be painful to get right. smile

Ran out of time to make a comment earlier in the day--scratchblocks gobbled up my time.

I wanted to cover the basics of populating the list, and then leave the sorting up to the wiki.

I think he means sorting a list of random numbers.

I would probably do a merge sort, but those would be hard.
A simple bubble sort would first
-add all random numbers to list
-do a repeat loop for the length of the list

will think of more later

How to record random generated values, in order, for later use. :)
