Random

Random[] gives a uniformly distributed pseudorandom Real in the range 0 to 1.

• Random[type, range] gives a pseudorandom number of the specified type, lying in the specified range. Possible types are: Integer, Real and Complex. The default range is 0 to 1. You can give the range {min, max} explicitly; a range specification of max is equivalent to {0, max}.

Note: Random is deprecated; use RandomReal, RandomInteger, or RandomComplex instead.
