Generates a random number.
The random number will be within the range specified(min value <= random number < max value), where 0 is the minimum value for a random number if only a maximum value is given as argument to the function.
Syntax
getRandomNumber(maximum_value);
getRandomNumber(minimum_value, maximum_value);
Arguments
minimum_value: Is an expression with the type of number
maximum_value: Is an expression with the type of number
Return type
number
Examples
print("Random number 1: ");
print(getRandomNumber(100, 200)); //Return a random number > 100 and < 200
print("Random number 2: ");
print(getRandomNumber(200)); //Return a random number < 200
Availability
Version 4.8
