Randomizing Numbers

[jshorf06]

Last semester for a VB class I took, we had to program a Visual Basic Tic-Tac-Toe without any help from the teacher. I established myself with getting the Tic-Tac-Toe to work, but we needed to have a random start, either computer or human first. So heres what I got.

Dim iStart as Integer

iStart = Rnd

That worked just fine for the started, but now I needed to randomize where the computer started. And I found out Rnd only generates a random number 0-1. How would I generate 0-8?

If you look up the Rnd function in VB's online help, you'll find an example of how to generate a random number in a given range. VB's online help is also available on MSDN, so if you search Google for "rnd given range", you can find what you're looking for.

i think it is:

Dim I As Integer
Randomize
I =  int(1 + rnd * 8)
