Why not generate integers and then divide them? Can you specify what sort of numbers you want? edit: what did you try to google? "cs random decimals" got me this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/609501/generating-a-random-decimal-in-c-sharp

This thread is about generating random numbers in C#, not about Lua or playground or web. So what does ChillPill's Lua demo do here?

Just out of curiosity: What do you need the random decimals for? (And actual decimals or just some floating point number type?)

Lisa Any decimal that's not an integer, couldn't come up with a better term so my apologies for making it confusing.

How is the lua code related to the question of this thread? Please don't post non-related codes.

Thanks, just trying to find something new, the method Lisa came up with is very clever and the link she provided is mind boggling 👍

Lisa And I needed them to display the possibility of chosen items, the output should look like this: first - 42.5% second - 57.5% ... maybe even more depending on the amount Not sure how to implement it properly though
