Hi,
I'm new to ADA, but I've programmed in a few other languages. I was
wondering if ADA has a predefined RANDOM function. I know Pascal has
one, and I think C does(never had to use it, oddly enough), but I
haven't found anything about it in my rather limited ADA resources.
Does such a function exist, and if it does, which package is it in?

See the Float or Discrete random generators in Ada.Numerics in your
Ada 95 reference or text.

Yes, a random number function exists.
Ada.Numerics.Float_Random
Ada.Numerics.Discrete_Random
P.S. Ada isn't an acronym, so you don't need to spell it in all-caps.
