ra
radian
(rA' dE un) n.
a unit of arc for which the arc length is equal to the radius of the circle. A radian is approximately equal to 57.296 degrees. SAS trigonometric functions use angles measured in radians.
Abbr. rad.
radio box
(rA' di O boks) n.
a set of buttons, each representing a different option identified in an associated label, allowing a user to select one option from a set of option by selecting the button associated with that option. The selection of one button in a radio box causes all other buttons in the radio box to be deselected.
radio button
(rA' di O but' n) n.
one of the buttons in a radio box.

random number
n.
1. a number selected randomly.
2. also, pseudo-random number. a number generated by a mathematical process (a random number generator) that simulates the essential qualities of a random number.

4. a measure of the extent of a set of values.
5. the set of values that a function can return.
