Wow. I ammended your handler like this:
on mouseUp
repeat 10
put "0,0,0" into myCounter
repeat 1000
add 1 to c
add 1 to item random(3) of myCounter
put myCounter & cr after cList
end repeat
put myCounter && sum(myCounter) & return after myList
end repeat
put c & cr & cr & myList & cr & cr & cList
end mouseUp
and the result was
10000
which is as expected
341,344,345 1030
328,326,329 983
348,346,347 1041
331,334,335 1000
321,323,322 966
337,340,339 1016
317,318,316 951
310,308,309 927
345,345,346 1036
352,355,350 1057
not at all as expected
0,1,0
0,1,0
2,1,0
2,1,0
2,1,0
3,1,0
3,1,4
3,1,2
3,1,2
3,2,2
3,2,3
...
you can see that not only is 1 not being added everytime, but other
additions and subtractions are happening as well....
Weird.

Hello,
I think Sarah is right, lines may end up with equal random numbers.
However, my test results show another weird phenomenon.
on mouseUp
put "0,0,0" into myCounter
repeat 10
repeat 1000
add 1 to item random(3) of myCounter
end repeat
put myCounter && sum(myCounter) & return after myList
put "0,0,0" into myCounter
end repeat
put myList
end mouseUp
test results:
330,328,329 987
316,315,317 948
325,326,326 977
337,337,339 1013
349,350,349 1048
327,327,325 979
348,348,347 1043
355,356,355 1066
330,330,329 989
335,335,334 1004
There is a bug somewhere, which causes these weird results. The
following works fine:
on mouseUp
put "0,0,0" into myCounter
repeat 10
repeat 1000
put random(3) into x
add 1 to item x of myCounter
end repeat
put myCounter && sum(myCounter) & return after myList
put "0,0,0" into myCounter
end repeat
put myList
end mouseUp
with these test results:
312,344,344 1000
338,344,318 1000
313,343,344 1000
320,344,336 1000
291,338,371 1000
339,303,358 1000
337,324,339 1000
328,338,334 1000
322,331,347 1000
305,354,341 1000
I don't know whether this might affect the sort function or any
other application of random numbers, besides using them in repeat
loops.
Best,
Mark

Has anyone noticed this?
I have two games that sort a container (three lines, one line is
the answer) by random the number of lines. The "answer" should be
in any one of the three resulting lines, but is overwhelmingly in
the first
any thoughts?
