When I run the example program on section IV(Control Structures for the if
statement) of the tutorial, the Compiler detect an error on line 10, where the
Random function located.
I notice that the problem is cause by the Random function because I have read
in the earlier tutorial saying that we have to assign the Random number to a
variable. After I assign the Random number to a variable the program work just
as expected.
Mark or anybody, please correct me if I am wrong.


"if (Random(100) == 0)" used to be a compiler error, but version 1.2 of
NQC is smart enough to generate a temporary variable to hold the random
number.

A trickier problem is Sleep().  Sleep(Random(100)) parses just fine.
Since Sleep() is just a macro for some bytecode assembly language, there's
no way for the compiler to know that random numbers can't be used as
arguments.  Version 1.3 of NQC will fix this as well.
