Does anyone know how to generate a random number that falls between a given range???

Just generate your random number, multiply it by the range, subtract the lower limit :)

For my next trick I will pull a hat out of a rabbit (if you think thats bad you should see how the pigeon feels...) :p
 
Thanks, I really needed that for a sim I was working on.

public double generate(int min, int max)
{
double rdmNo = Math.random() * (max - min) + min;
return rdmNo;
}
