- | The RAND(N) function returns random integer number from 0 to, but not including, N. | + | ====== 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. | ||
