How to generate a random number from 1 to 50 in array

Hi raki,

no need to hijack old threads for your own question!

If you would search this forum you would find a lot of possible solutions as your question comes up quite often! (It's a typical task to let beginners learn LabVIEW features.)

generate a random number

There is a LabVIEW function giving you random numbers with 0 < x < 1 (according to LV2011 help).

from 1 to 50

You need some simple math to scale the number you already got…

in array

Usually you use loops to generate arrays…

Please show the entire homework assignment. A lot of information seems missing.

• Do you want only integers or real random floating point numbers?
• In the subject, you talk about odd/even, but you don't mention it in the post.*
• What does the "etc." in the subject stand for.*
• To generate a random number, you don't need an array.
• How many random numbers do you need to generate?

Have you done a forum search? Plenty of solutions have been posted in the past.

* EDIT: I guess you did not write the subject line and it has little to do with your posts. It came from the thread you hijacked before the post got moved.

Hi GerdW

Hi raki,

when there is a problem in YOUR VI you need to debug YOUR VI.

Or you attach YOUR VI so we can also debug it…

(I prefer LV2014.)

Im using LV2016....

The simple solution is to create an array of 51 elements (data type does not matter so use a U8 for the smallest memory hit, also use Initialize Array) and then use Riffle.vi.  Use the index array output.  You will now have a random order of numbers from 0 to 50 with no duplicates.  You can use Array Subset if you just need a certain number of values.

I gave you step-by-step instructions for 2 functions that you need.  If you are unwilling to give it a try, I cannot help you.  Or if you are just lost, go through some of the tutorials.
