Here is my problem:
I need to generate a random number betveen 0 and 3 on each bang to random and filter the numbers so that there are no immediate repetitions ever (so just using [deal] does not work). I’m trying to do that by connecting [random] and [change]. Change filters out the repetitions nicely but i need a way to send bang to random when [change] has filtered out the int random sent so the [random] would trie automatically again until a different int is generated and change lets it pass.

Here is what i have now:

#P window setfont “Sans Serif” 9.;
#P window linecount 1;
#P newex 93 195 36 9109513 print R;
#P button 93 61 15 0;
#P newex 93 150 40 9109513 Change;
#P newex 93 104 51 9109513 Random 3;
#P window linecount 3;
#P comment 114 62 100 9109513 each bang from here should generate output from change;
#P connect 2 0 4 0;
#P connect 3 0 1 0;
#P connect 1 0 2 0;
#P window clipboard copycount 5;

thanks

Hi,

There’s an abstraction called “urn-jb” in the examples folder of Max.
It uses the urn object which output random numbers without
duplicates, and some “intelligence” to filter the possible repetition
at the start of a new serie.

HTH,

I think this works…if someone finds a bug please let me know…

nice one…
took a while to understand why it works…
it’s probably faster than any comparison for duplicates…

You win the price for the most elegant solution. Could be a wonderful
task for Max classes… It shows that there are a lot of very different
kind of obvious solutions, but there might be still an even more elegant
solution out there…
