Re: [fricas-devel] random from IntegerNumberSystem

PI->NNI ? Awkward indeed. In other langs: C++ int rand (void); Returns a pseudo-random integral number in the range between 0 and RAND_MAX . Python import randomprint(random.randint(-9,9)) PHP int *rand* ( int $min , int $max ) CL (where Fricas' random is

Thank you for the hint. I wasn't aware of and it's useful anyway. > As a principle, is it better to use the lisp or to (hand) translate to spad? I can't say in general, but IMO math related code in spad, UI/tools related things in lisp. I rate the lisp background as a merit ;) On 19 October 20

Quicklisp has cl-colors; see also https://github.com/tpapp/cl-colors. Dependencies include anaphora, alexandria and let-plus. As a principle, is it better to use the lisp or to (hand) translate to spad? -- Mark On 10/19/2016 05:06 AM, oldk1331 wrote: >> I'm trying to map draw options to frontend
