Lesson 2 Practice. Children's Guessing Game

Hi,

I am trying to get the Random Number Generator to work in this Practice.

I’ve dragged an Assign box into the Flowchart, created a new variable names Random but, I cannot seem to get the Random Number Generator command correct.

I am entering new Random().Next{0.1000} but it doesn’t work. In fact, I have tried a whole host of combinations without success. Please can anyone give me the correct command?

Thank you.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. However I have tried that and I’m still getting an error. Please see scree shot below.

I don’t see any screenshot.
Did you run my code?

5

yes I did and I get this error message "Compiler error encountered processing exception new Random().Next(0,1000) end of expression expected

6

Ah, just put a full stop at the end and now the error message says “identifier expected”?

7

No need of full stop.
Its a simple method. It should work
Its working fine for me .:roll_eyes:

Try this.
Right(Now.Millisecond.ToString,3)

Hi,

Thanks again for your response. I have tried both versions you sent me but neither of them work

Perhaps I have a technical issue?

come on man…:neutral_face:
It’s very simple.
What could possibly go wrong in that .:stuck_out_tongue:
@ovi is there something do with uipath studio itself.(version updates)

10

@ddpadil Studio Community Edition updates automatically, so no :smiley:
@Vennie i would suggest to go through all the lessons, because there are walkthroughs and answers to every practical exercise

Morning,

Thank you both for your responses. Working through the lessons is what I am trying to do. This is the first practice on Lesson 2. I’ll check to see if there are any updates.

In your workflow you are still using { brackets. please replace it with small brackets “( )”

Int32 random_number = New Random().Next(0,1000) // will work.

or just download attached sample workflow and run it.

Hi Vennie -
Even I am facing the same issue. Used below code to create random number.
Int32 rnd= new Random().Next(1,1000)

Error: TYPE Random.Next() is not defined

What is the work around u did ?

15

By the way there are many benefits of playing a game like it improves our attention and concentration, enhances memory, etc. I think it is great task taken by you.

16

I am having the same problem. What did you do to get around it?

17

Hi Tony,

I’m really sorry but it was quite a while ago, and I don’t remember exactly. If the problem is with creating the random number generator, I think I Googled
the .net code.

Sorry I can’t be of more help.

Regards,

Vennie

new Random().Next(0,1000)
Copy the same code, it will work. You might have missed the brackets after Random.

19

Just faced the same problem.
As the previous answer couldn’t help me to solve it, I share what I had to do in order to makes it work.

First of all:
Change the variable Random from string to Int32.

Then: On the 2 Flow decision activities when you enter Guess = Random and Guess < Random replace them respectively by Guess = Random.ToString and Guess < Random.ToString

Normally with these modifications you can run the guessing game.
