Random Numbers

[juggernot]

I was thinking of creating a random math program, where you could choose multiplication, division, addition, or subtraction and you would be tested by random questions. I'm a noob, but I think I can do it if I had a way to generate random numbers, which I am sadly lacking. Can anyone explain to me how to do it?

Quick google reveals the following:

Dim RandomClass As New Random()
Dim myRandomNumber As Integer
myRandomNumber = RandomClass.Next()

That's Great! It worked very well. Now could someone explain to me how to create a maximum and minimum value for the random number?

See the members of the Random class, the Next method is overloaded for variants of randomness.

More details here, but looks like min and max are arguments of the .Next method. So, Random.Next(min, max) might be it.

Edit: Opps, posted while John was. Either way, good article about it.
