NEITHER of those will work!(at least they won't produce desired results) 
 The test needs to include 1 and 9, hence If E1>=1 and E1<=9.  Well, if
you don't know, you can have numbers in variable names, but cannot BEGIN
with a number, so if it does begin with a number then it's implied
multiplication.  What you're code says is "take the greatest integer
value of the variable 'rand3' plus the constant 1".  You need to use: int
3rand+1.  Again, on the 86 this must be written: int (3rand+1.
