[Bug 107700] random numbers
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: openoffice.org Hello, I'll tried to speak approximately in English... The random numbers' generator (ALEA in French, RADN in English, I suppose) is not correctly configured. Random numbers must be in [0,1[ interval, but open office gives numbers of [0,1]. For a lot of people it's a detail, but when you want to teach simulation with kids, you may obtain a 7 on a die (un dé en français). Can you change the source please ?

Re: [Bug 107700] Re: random numbers
The function I've used with my classroom was =ENT(ALEA()*6+1) so it was near yours. But some children said me they had 7 as result once or twice among 1, what I've seen. It wasn't the lastest version of openoffice, and it was under Windows XP. Under Linux, and 2.0.4, I've not had this problem. To have what I want, I've finally used =ALEA.ENTRE.BORNES(1;6) but it wasn't very interesting to teach this way... Thank's for your response, and sorry for my english. Sébastien DUMORTIER.

Yes, certainly, but it wasn't this mistake ;-) Le jeudi 19 avril 2007 à 13:27 +, Philip Paquette a écrit : > Also, > > if you use the random normal generator and you don't set an approximate > number of digits after the decimal, the output of rand() will be > correct, but the cell will round the number by itself. > > e.g. in cells rounds so it has 0 digits after the decimal. > > 0.423489324234 -> 0 > 0.543589423423 -> 1 > > You might want to make sure you have enough digits after the decimal. > -- random numbers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107700 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
