Hi all,
I succeed getting a random number of this look : d.dd (8.73 for ex)
I use Math.random()*(max-min)+min;
I want to check that this number respect a specific given increment.

To be clear :
If I set min to 0 and max to 10 for example.
The script returns a number like 8.56

Now, I have a increment like 0.2
I want the script to give me a number that can be d,d.2,d.4,d.6,d.8
BUT NOT d.78 or d.1

I guess I may use a while command but have no idea of the checking operation.
Any idea ?
Thanks in advance.
Loic
