Hello,

Can someone explain to me why in the sample survey "Randomly Ask One Question Per Group" the expression used is floor"(rand(1, X))" instead of simply "rand (1,X)," what is the difference and why the first option is preferable as a device which randomly selects an integer within a range of two integers? (I assume that is preferred because is feautured in this example, which is part of the limesurvey manual)

Thank you very much.

Borja

Thanks very much for your reply TMSWhite, and Mazi for pointing out the issue.
