What about "create a list of N random integers (although it being reals) between A and B" ?

I know the user rpl is fairly easy, but again my approach is the usual "having it ready made".

This feels much like the previous discussion that started around post #182.

Especially after all of the headache that came from validating LSHUF, I'm leery of diving into the "random pool" again. If you read through the previous posts on this topic (referenced above), you'll find some other pertinent discussion points.

Given A, B, and N on the stack, you could always do something like the following. This uses John Keith's suggestion of using LPICK, which is much faster than repeated calls to GET:

Code:

\<<
   UNROT LSEQR SWAP OVER SIZE
   \-> count dim
   \<<
      1. count START
         dim RAND * CEIL
      NEXT
      count \->LIST
      LPICK
   \>>
\>>

This assumes that duplicates are allowed, and that you're ok with the built-in RAND distribution. There's lots of variations possible for this kind of application, and the specific needs may vary depending on the problem at hand.
