What should I do to make this

-----------------------------------

How would you make this program:
Write a program to generate 10 random real numbers between:
a.	4 and 5
b.	0 and 10
c.	20 and 30
d.	X any y where x and y are integer inputs

One step at a time.

How would you generate a random (any range) real number? Do that 10 times. Use basic arithmetic operations to transform the range to satisfy a,b,c... which are all just specific cases of d.

dont we have Rand.Int()?

We do! We even have the documentation on how it works and how to use it -- [tdoc]Rand.Int[/tdoc]

here, i'll make it simple.

So you have 2 options, which are basically the same thing.

Lets say the variable was x.

1) x := Rand.Int (a, b)

2) randint (x, a, b)

a and b are just the parameters. If you wanted a random number between 1 and 10, you would replace a with 1 and b with 10. 
Either way wont really matter; The only time it would matter is when you have a compund var statement with the same random number like this:

var a, b, c : int := Rand.Int (1, 3)

anyways, hope that helps.
