bartman>That still doesn't explain where the words lowbyte and highbyte come from to use them the way they are being used in the examples. How would I know this reading the book that these words exist as "lowbyte" and "highbyte" after something else? right now I feel like there is a hidden page of information I'm not seeing.


in my PBP Pro V2.45 book it's at the page 23.



Bartman>I'm still curious if my understanding of RANDOM is how RANDOM works. Let's get to that then I'll tackle the high and low bit stuff.

IMO you dont need to know how it's working since it's doing what you want

RANDOM is a built-in function that comes with PICBasic PRo & PicBasic standard who generate Pseudo random numers. This is all you need to know.
