Randomize
Randomize(number)Seeds ColdFusion’s random number generator with the
integer part of number. This allows the
Rand( ) function to generate numbers with a higher
degree of randomness. Note that the number returned by the
Randomize( ) function isn’t
random. The following example uses the Randomize(
) function to seed ColdFusion’s random
number generator before creating random numbers with the
Rand( ) function:
<cfset Randomize(GetTickCount( ))> Here are 10 random numbers:<p> <cfloop index="counter" from="1" to="10"> <cfoutput>#Rand( )#<br></cfoutput> </cfloop>
