But random numbers are not just used for rolling dice and games of chance. When sending data across a network, a wireless router waits a random amount of time before transmitting the data to avoid collisions. This means that when two computers are communicating, they are able to use two way communicatio, sending and receiving data along the same channels.

Random numbers are also often used to generate secure passwords that are difficult to crack. Imagine that you need to generate a new user password that matches all of the requirements for a strong password. Random numbers would be perfect for this job:

password = ""

FOR i = 1 TO 6 DO

     password = password + Chr(Random(97,122)) // adds a lower case

    password = password + Chr(Random(65,90)) // adds an upper case

    password = password + Str(Random(0,9)) 


    password = password + Chr(Random(35,46)) // adds a symbol


    password = password + Str(Random(0,9)) 

    password = password + Chr(Random(35,46)) // adds a symbol

OUTPUT password

This is one simplistic way to solve this problem. Can you think of a more efficient solution?
