Linda, Run m3 and it sets the seed of the random number generator (RNG) to new values based on the time. Do this before you start to generate random numbers. With a new seed you'll get a different sequence of RNs. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Linda Alvord Sent: Friday, November 28, 2014 21:03 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Jprogramming] Get unique results each time you use deal and roll This agrees with {Pascal's answer. I thought you could take some number of seconds in the time and find the last digits or something and then roll that number and then begin your code. Maybe I isn't possible.

How can you get different results each time. I vaguely rember using some date or other number with roll to insure different results.
