RND(1) returns a value between 0 and 1, but always lower than 1. Thus, the result of 205+RND(1) will always be 205 point something, which in turn will be truncated to 205. Thus, it will always result in the same character.
- SeanLuke 8y agoI see. RND returns a float.
- soneil 8y agoIt's more that the decimal is always rounded down. So you don't want a value between 205 and 205.9999999, as it'll always be rounded down to 205. you want a value between 205.5 and 206.49999999, so when rounded down it has a (practically) even chance of landing on either 205 or 206.
