Remarks

  • This function will not trigger re-firing of rules though changes to supplied arguments may.
  • Since this function returns an integer, you may divide by a power of ten to produce a decimal value. For example, "Random(0, 10000) / 1000" gives a random number between 0.000 and 9.999.
  • Example: Random(1, 10) returns 3.
  • Example: Random(1, 10) returns 7.
  • Example: Random(2, 1) returns 1.
  • Example: Random(1, 2) returns 1.
