setting Random range in pascal

[ReBeL]

How can I set the random funciton to a range
let's say from 3 to 8
or from a to b
you get the point

[gibben]

First find the range of the random values you want.
3 to 8 , 3 4 5 6 7 8 or max - min value so you have 6 possible values. Then calculate your offset which is 3 in this case. take the output of RANDOM(6) and add the offset of 3 to obtain a random value in the range of [3,8].

For A to Z you would use their decimal value equivilants 65 to 90 and use the same preceedure above.
