Question

basic programming language, basic question...?

Answer 1

I wouldn't say there's a better programming language. Visual Basic is pretty good, but it doesn't get you familiarized with anything beyond basic programming concepts. C# and Java are based on the same principles, but Java is more portable as it works on any operating system, while C# will work only on Windows. However, the Integrated Development Environment (IDE) you have for C#, Visual Studio, is absolutely superb to use. I'd recommend learning either Java or C#. Once you know one of them, it's easy to learn other other. Good Luck!

Answer 2

I remember Applesoft BASIC.

You'll need to find a reference guide for your version of BASIC for the random number creation instruction.



I don't know if the format is the same with your version of BASIC, but Applesoft's random number generator worked like this:



x=int(rnd(0)*10)+1

x = integer from 1 to 10



x=int(rnd(0)*400)+40

x = integer from 40 to 400



x=(rnd(0)*30)

x = floating point number from 0 to 30

Answer 3

The function "RND" with an integer value greater than one, returns an integer value between 0 and one less than that number.



So, if you want 10 different values, RND(10) will return a random integer between 0 and 9. Since you want 1 to 10, just add one to that.



The program you want is one line long:



===================

PRINT RND(10)+1

===================

Answer 4

if you have a TI-83 graphing calculator

create a new program

{

ClrScreen

randInt(1,10,A)

Output(1,1,A)

pause

ClrScreen

}

where all the stuff inside of the brackets is the code

then just run the program, voila

Answer 5

i know that in qbasic it would be



randomized timer



x=int(rnd*10)+1



print X





the randomized timer is what makes it random. otherwise everytime you restart the program, you'll get the same random numbers because it would be using the same seed.



i don't know if it is the same for your version. check the help file.
