Hi Paul, thanks for this snippet! Have you already seen the built-in min/max functions? max((1,2,3)), min((1,2,3)) Might save both, some bytes and milliseconds, neglectable but nevertheless. :-) Best from Konstanz Michael On 15 Aug 2014, at 22:02, Paul Swennenhuis wrote: Hi all,

[basex-talk] random:integer vs. random:seeded-integer

2014-08-18 Thread Amanda Galtman
Hi, Is it intentional that random:integer lets you use zero or a negative value for $max, but random:seeded-integer errors out in those cases? I know these are edge cases. I'm only flagging them because of the inconsistency between the two similar functions. (: Returns (0,0). :)

Hello Amanda, I agree, this behaviour is inconsistent. I am not quite sure what is the best way to go here. Raising no error and simply returning 0 (as it is currently done for random:integer() if max is out of range) seems pretty dangerous to me, considering that randomness is often used for
