====== RANDOMIZE ======

The ''RANDOMIZE'' command seeds the pseudo-random generator with an initial value.

===== Syntax =====

<code xcbasic>
RANDOMIZE <value>
</code>

The value given must be a LONG number and it will serve as a base for the random sequence.

===== Example =====

A typical use case is to seed the randomizer with the result of the [[TI]] function:

<code xcbasic>
RANDOMIZE TI()
FOR i AS BYTE = 1 TO 10
  PRINT RND()
NEXT
</code>

===== Commander X16 Example =====

Since the ''TI()'' function is not implemented in the [x16], we'll use the [[ENTROPY]] function, that is part of the X16.BAS library:

<code xcbasic>
INCLUDE "x16.bas"
RANDOMIZE ENTROPY()
FOR i AS BYTE = 1 TO 10
  PRINT RND()
NEXT
</code>
