Function Rand() Foundation

Calculates random numbers between 0 and 1.

Syntax
Rand( [<nStartValue>] ;  // Default: 1
    ) --> nRandomNumber
Return

Returns a random number in the range between 0 and 1.

Description

When the function is called repeatedly without a parameter it produces the same series of random numbers for the same initial <nStartValue>.

When <nStartValue> is 0 or less for repeated calls the system time will be used to calculate different random numbers.
