I am trying to find out how to generate a random number in the same range for multiple variables easily instead of typing out the same thing many times.
For example:
num1 = rnd.Next(1, 10);
num2 = rnd.Next(1, 10);
Is there a more simple way to do that in a single line?
I am trying to generate a random number and have a probability of x% to get closer of the max value.
Problem is that I have no idea how to do this, unless I make some steps?
Let's say I'll generate a random number between 1 and 3000.
$number = mt_rand(1, 3000)
This will return 2700 for example. I would like it to be closer to 1 than 3000.
How should I implement a function that will only have a 10% chance to get near 3000?
I have these snippets of code:
char letrarand()
{
time_t t;
srand(time(NULL));
char randomletter = 'A' + (rand() % 26);
return randomletter;
}
char criameses()
{
int contador = 0;
for (contador = 0; contador < 31;++ contador)
{
*(pjaneiro + contador) = letrarand();
}
Where pjaneiro is a pointer to a 31 element array. Theoretically this works and would assign a random letter to each element of the array, but as it turns out it always assigns the same letter.
My best guess as to why this happens is that the time() functions is only accurate to a second so the seed to the random number generator is always the same because my computer executes the code in less than one second. Is there a way for me to better seed the random number generator?
i want to replace this string: "color":"efea27", with "color":"0000ff", but the "efea27" could be anything (its random). i want to change that to what the user inputs. for example 0000ff how do i do that when i dont know what is between the color "" ?

I have a problem. I am programming a math calculation program in FORTRAN. In there I have to initialize an array of random values. These values have to be normally distributed with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1.
I did the following script in python 2.7 to generate 900 of such values.
import numpy as np
mu, sigma = 0, 1.0
list = []
i = 0
while i < 901:
s = np.random.normal(mu, sigma, None)
list.append(format(s, '.3f'))
i += 1
print list
This returns this list:
['-1.403', '-1.498', '0.573', '-0.056', '-0.226', '-0.514', ..., ]
The problem is that I can't just copy this into my FORTRAN code because the values there are written in the followint way:
DATA STR / 0.978, -0.52 , -0.368, 1.69 , & !Giving random values. Temperary solution for
-1.48 , 0.985, 1.475, -0.098, & !random number generating, based on the normal law
-1.633, 2.399, 0.261, -1.883, &
-0.181, 1.675, -0.324, -1.029, &
-0.185, 0.004, -0.101, -1.187, &
-0.007, 1.27 , 0.568, -1.27 , &
... &
... &
... &
/
Meaning that I have to format the python list into something like:
NUM1, NUM2, NUM3, NUM4, &
XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, &
...
...
...
How would I go about doing this?
Thanks.
I am running Python 2.7.12 with no extensions. This is my code, and I am getting an Unexpected EOF while parsing.

Thanks if you could help, and yes, I will 'accept' answers if you want some reputation.
i'm fairly new here and new to netlogo so i will try my best to explain what i need help with.
I'm looking to create a small world of random walking turtles and each trutles should have a label so it show how many time they have encountered another turtle.
thanks for any help in advance.
