In gprolog 1.3.1 when I run random/3 with the call below I get integers. random(1.0,10.0,RANDOM_NUMBER). The 1.3.1 manual says that if both Base and Max are integers then Number will be an integer. I assumed this mean an integer as determined by integer/1 built-in Prolog predicate. ??? The work-around is easy enough with random/1 so this is not critical. I also found the following calls to random/3 return the same random number: :- randomize,random(1,10,M),randomize,random(1,10,N). M and N are the same. This was only tested so far on a very old Fedora 2 platform, Pentium III and I have not had a chance to try it on a more recent version of Linux, but it doesn't seem right. The actual calls where in two(2) different goals, not right after each other, as shown above.
