Define a routine... nRandom[n_] := Table[Random[Integer, {0, 10}], {n}] nRandom[6] {5, 6, 0, 3, 7, 3} or... nRandom[n_] := Array[Random[Integer, {0, 10}] &, n] nRandom[6] {5, 8, 3, 4, 2, 5} or just use on a one time basis... Table[Random[Integer, {0, 10}], {6}] {6, 3, 8, 1, 2, 6} The humble Table command is very useful and much better than For or Do (which wouldn't even work in this case.)

The built-in function "Random" gives a random number in a chosen range. How can I have, for example, 6 random numbers with a single instruction? Thank you very much for your answers, and forgive me for the simple question, but I'm new in Mathematica...
