====== RAND Function ======

The RAND() functions return a random integer number.

* RAND(N) returns a random integer from 0 to, but not including, N.
* RAND(A,B) returns (v9.0+) a random integer number from A to, including, B.

In the one parameter version, N must be greater than or equal to 1.

In the two parameter version, if B is less than A, they are implicitly swapped. If A and B are the same, then that is the number that will always be returned.

Note: Unlike the other variants of RAND() and [[RANDOM|RANDOM()]], RAND(A,B) may return the larger number.  This makes RAND(1,6) return the same as a regular dice for example, a number from 1-6 inclusive, which matches what you would normally want.
