 RANDOM                     Return a Random Number                    pp 143

 Syntax:  Random <IntVar> ;

 Type:    Integer or Real

 Form:    Function

 Purpose: Return a random number of type Real or type Integer.

 Notes:   Random used without the optional IntVar returns a Real number
          that is greater than or equal to 0 and less than 1.

          When called with the optional IntVar, an integer number greater
          than or equal to zero and less than IntVar is returned.

       VAR
          IntVar  : Integer     ;  { Integer variable }
          RealVar : Real        ;  { Real variable }

       BEGIN
          RealVar := Random     ;  { 1 > RealVar >= 0 }
          IntVar  := Random (4) ;  { 4 > IntVar  >= 0 }
       END.
