Purpose
Initializes the random number generator to seed new random numbers (Rnd calls).
7202010_20004_0.png        Note
If Randomize isn't used, the Rnd function will return the same list of random numbers every time it is run.
Syntax
Randomize [Seed]


Seed
The numeric key from which to generate the random number list.
Using the same seed value each time a program is run will generate the same list of random numbers.
If this argument is omitted, Randomize generates a number list using the Timer function. This provides a different seed value than the value used in any previous calls.

Example
The following example demonstrates how Randomize can be used to create a new list of random numbers each time the program is run.
Sub Main ()
        Dim i As Integer
        Randomize
        Print "Generating 25 random numbers from 1 to 100*
        For i = 1 to 25
                Print (100 * Rnd) + 1
        Next i
End Sub
