This module supports the Visual Basic language keywords and run-time library members for generating random numbers.

This example uses the Rnd function to generate a random integer value in the range from 1 to 6.

' Initialize the random-number generator.
Randomize()
' Generate random value between 1 and 6.
Dim value As Integer = CInt(Int((6 * Rnd()) + 1))

Supported in: 5, 4, 3
