I want to generate 10 different numbers from a range of 0-9. the desired output may look like this, 9 0 8 6 5 3 2 4 1 7
Dim arraynum(9) As Integer
Dim crmd A
Option Explicit 'Force variable declaration
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim Ar(1 To 100) As Integer 'The array to store it in
Dim i, j As Integer 'Counters for loops
Dim X As Integer 'Variable to store the random generated number
Dim bFound As Boolean 'Boolean to check if the value has been generated before
Randomize 'Just once to ensure that we get random values
For i = 1 To 100
Do 'Start the loop that generates a random number and checks if it has already been generated
X = RandomInteger(1, 100) 'Generate a random number
bFound = False 'Set the boolean to false, if we find the number while searching the array, we'll set it to true which means that we already have that number
For j = 1 To i 'We only need to check up to i (since we haven't put any values in the rest of the array)
If Ar(j) = X Then 'If an item of the arrray is the same as the last generated number
bFound = True 'Set the boolean to true (it already exists)
DoEvents 'To not freeze until the looping is done
Exit For 'Since we found it there is no need to check the rest
End If
Next
Loop Until bFound = False 'If it wasn't found then we'll add it, if it was found then we go back to generating a new number and comparing it with all the items of the array
Ar(i) = X 'Add it to the array
Next
ShowInTextBox Text1, Ar 'Just to print the data and see it
End Sub
Private Function RandomInteger(Lowerbound As Integer, Upperbound As Integer) As Integer 'The random number generator code
RandomInteger = Int((Upperbound - Lowerbound + 1) * Rnd + Lowerbound)
End Function
Private Sub ShowInTextBox(TB As TextBox, A() As Integer) 'Just a sub to show the data in a textbox
Dim i As Integer
TB.Text = ""
For i = 1 To UBound(A)
TB.Text = TB.Text & CStr(A(i)) & vbCrLf
Next
TB.Text = Left$(TB.Text, Len(TB.Text) - 2)
End Sub
