I watched a site for programming some small games. What does Int means?

[hamregutten]

And what is BRan#?

Hello hamregutten and welcome to the UCF!

The BASIC command Int basically converts a number to a integer if not a integer already. For example:

Int 5.58782758279

Would give you back 5

For BRan#, I assume you meant Ran#. Ran# gives you back a random number between 0 and 1. You can increase the range by changing the default multiplicand of 1 to a different number. For example:

5Ran#

By multiplying Ran# by 5, it will give you a random number between the range 0 and 5.

Ok, thanks for the answer, but can you give me an example of which buttons i have to press for Int an Ran#?
Can you show me what to press in this line: ??

You see the Int BRan#+1 E. I have a Casio CFX 9850 GC PLUS if that helps but which buttons do I have to press for typing in that line??
Sorry, but I'm a newbie from Norway (Therefore my misspelling).

Oh, now I understand. The B before Ran# was a variable.

For Int:

1. OPTN' />
2. F6' />
3. F4' />
4. F2' />

For Ran#:

1. OPTN' />
2. F6' />
3. F3' />
4. F4' />

For more info about where to find more BASIC commands, please take a look at these documents:

Thanks for learning me some new thing. Helped me a lot...

Hey, no problem. It's our duty to help.

If you have any more questions just ask.

By the way, some calculators have the catalog (for the fx-9860G is Shift' /> 4' />). It shows you all commands you can use.

I think the catalog feature is kind of new on CASIO's. I believe only the fx-9860G has them.
