Random number generation

[dkmcf]

Shivani,

Simply put, you want to draw the numbers 1-100 in a shuffled order.
Easiest to do this making a List with the numbers 1-100, setting the
List to Random, then drawing samples from the List, perhaps as a
nested List.  Please work through the appropriate tutorials in the
manuals that came with E-Prime, with particular attention to Appendix
C of the User's Guide.  But if you would really rather roll your own
than use a List, then you want to program a Fisher-Yates shuffle
algorithm, just look that up on Wikipedia.
