) after [random] and multiply by a decimal number (like .01). set the random to pick between 0 and 100 and you should be all set for 100 data points. as long as you have a clue of the number of data points between A and B you can set the range with the multiplier. you can also use the [drunk] object in PD-extended (cyclone) for a custom range but the decimal multiplier is still needed to convert that to float.

any other faster methods, PD'ers? i'm nowhere near the worlds greatest programmer, but that's what first comes to mind.

Hello, I'm very very new to pd, and couldn't find an answer to this
supposedly simple matter. I see that the "random" object generates
random integers between 0 and its argument.

How do I generate a random float between floats a and b?

cheers,
