Hi Andrew,
when random numbers are generated as floating point values, they are
pretty much guaranteed to be unique.
If you need a random distribution of a set of integers, then you need
to do the following:
1) Create a set of integers {A}, using the Series component. This set
will be ordered: {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,...,N}
2) Create a set of random floating point values {B}. You can use the
Random component for this. Make sure {B} is the same size as {A}.
3) Use the Sort component to sort the random values {B} -> keys, and
sort {A} simultaneously. The output of A will be the original set, but
all jumbled up.
