Returns a random value in the range [0.0;1.0]. Useful when called from Lua since each script instance will initialize its random number generator in a same way, and thus, 'random' values generated in different scripts will be relatively 'similar'. This is not the case with this random value. Can only be read. See also sim.getRandom, math.random2 and math.randomseed2.

The simulation time step (i.e. dt). Can only be written when using a custom dt value (which can be set in the simulation settings dialog), and when simulation is stopped.
