Random Number Generator (rand, randList, randNorm, randBin, RandSeed)
• The ClassPad random number generator can generate truly random numbers (non-
sequential random numbers) and random numbers that follow a particular pattern (sequential
random numbers). Using the “randList” function, you can generate a list whose elements
contain random numbers. There are nine different patterns for generation of sequential
random numbers. Use the “RandSeed” command to switch between non-sequential and
sequential random number generation, and to select the sequential random number
generation pattern.

ClassPad Operation
(1) Use the “RandSeed” command to configure random number generation settings, if
required.
(2) Use the “rand”, “randList”
, “randNorm”, or “randBin” function to generate the random
numbers.
