Hi

I was wondering if there is a function for generating random numbers.

I need to generate random numbers between 0 and 1 and then use it in a loop and if else.

Many Thanks

Hi,

as far as I recall, there is no built-in support for random number generation. On the other hand, the concept of native functions can be used to provide additional functions implemented in Java code, that can easily be used for this reason.

The basic idea is that you have to create an Eclipse extension for the native function, provide the implementation and install the plug-in. As an example, we have some string operations implemented in a non-eclipse.org SVN repository here: https://viatra.inf.mit.bme.hu/svn/experimental/trunk/natives/hu.bme.mit.viatra2.natives.strings/

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
Zoltán
