I am trying to program a random story generator, which will randomly guide the reader through my story. My current debugging program reads as follows:

:test()

:Prgm

:ClrIO

:Request "int",x

:Disp x

:solve(y=rand(x),y)

:Disp y

:EndPrgm

I enter integers up to 10, but the program returns y values of 1 every time. On the home screen, when I do rand(5), it generates a number between 1 and 5, with no apparent pattern. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!
