Ok, sounds doable. Now would you be so kind as to post up a little bit of your code so we can see how far you have progressed in solving this problem. Even you don't want to reveal your blindingly top secret algorithms, then pseudocode will do just fine  .
Code would be preferred though. Don't forget to use [code] tags when you post it! |

You will need for loops and the Rand.Int (upperNum, lowerNum) statement |

From what I can gather, it seems that you want to generate a random number that includes a decimal, and your problem is that Rand.Int creates a random integer. One possible way of solving this would be to have two Rand.int Statements: one for the number and one for the decimal. Ex:
