Random number -> Corresponding LED lit (n00besque content contained)

[boroko]

I wonder if someone could explain the
"MyByte=(MyWord//6)+1" part? // = Remainder (Modulus)? It isn't clear to me what this is doing and how it is extracting the 6 variables.

I need to randomize 8 LEDs and would like to understand it better.

Thanks

If you do the math with a calculator you'll, in my opinion, never understand modulus. Use paper and pencil for some small numbers and you'll see how modulus works.

I believe to randomize 8 LEDs all you need to do is change the 6 to an 8. Like
Random myword
mybyte=(myword//8)

Depending on how you use mybyte depends on whether or not you need to +1 after myword//8.

I'm sure someone will chime in and say I've messed up but there you have it.
