+
+<p>In Nyquist, '<nobr>real-random</nobr>' is implemented as a Lisp
+function:</p>
+
+<pre class="example">
+(defun <font color="#0000CC">real-random</font> (from to)
+ (+ (* (rrandom) (- to from)) from))
+</pre>
+
+<h2>Description</h2>
+
+<p>The '<nobr>real-random</nobr>' function returns a random floating point
+number between 'from' and 'to'. <nobr>See also</nobr> <a
+href="rrandom.htm">rrandom</a>, which is <nobr>equivalent to:</nobr>
+
+<pre class="example">
+(real-random 0 1))
+</pre>
