Well, using int(rand(10)) gives you an integer from 0 to 9. If you add 10 to it, you get an integer from 10 to 19. To get an integer from 10 to 99, you need to come up with an expression of the form X + int(rand(Y)) We know X is going to be 10 (because 10 is the lowest number to be returned. So subtracting 10 from our endpoints, we go from 10 and 99 to 0 and 89. So for int(rand(Y)) to return a number from 0 to 89, Y must be 90. $num = 10 + int rand 90; -- Jeff "japhy" Pinyan [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~japhy/ RPI Acacia brother #734 http://www.perlmonks.org/ http://www.cpan.org/ ** Look for "Regular Expressions in Perl" published by Manning, in 2002 ** <stu> what does y/// stand for? <tenderpuss> why, yansliterate of course.
