  k     Random Number Generation (Ran#)
  This function generates a 10-digit truly random or sequentially random number that is greater 
than zero and less than 1.
  • A truly random number is generated if you do not specify anything for the argument.
  
  Example   Operation  
 Ran# (Generates a random number.) 
 K 6 (g )3 (PROB)4 (Ran#)w  
 (Each press of w  generates a new random 
number.) 
 w
   w  
  • Specifying an argument from 1 to 9 generates random numbers based on that sequence.
  • Specifying an argument of 0 initializes the sequence.*

 (Generates the second random number in sequence 1.)

  Changing to a different sequence or 
generating a totally random number (without 
an argument) initializes the sequence.
