<h2>Performance</h2>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>ktrig</em></span> -- trigger (opcode produces a new random number whenever this value is not 0.
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>kmin</em></span> -- minimum range limit
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>kmax</em></span> -- maximum range limit
</p>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>trandom</em></span> is almost identical to <a class="link" href="random.html" title="random"><em class="citetitle">random</em></a> opcode, except <span class="emphasis"><em>trandom</em></span> updates its output with a new random value only when the <span class="emphasis"><em>ktrig</em></span> argument is triggered (i.e. whenever it is not zero).
