Every time you generate a new random number go through the array and see if
any match the new number if so generate a new one and check again, if not
add it to the array.
With only 10 numbers in the array it would check very fast so you wouldn't
be taking a performance hit.

Hi all!

What I am trying to figure out is this:

How to generate a sequence of random numbers where the newest is always
different from all the previous?

I need to continuosly rewrite an array of 10 random numbers in such a way
that at any given time they are all different.

Let's say that my range is 0 to 100

it starts with random numbers, all different:

{3, 34, 12, 69, 6, 44, 31, 90, 88, 23}

at a set interval some values are replaced by new ones so there are never
two equal numbers, so, after 2 seconds it may look like this:

{3, 66, 12, 79, 6, 44, 10, 81, 88, 23}


Any ideas?

Thanks :)
Eduardo
