Returns a random integer (whole number) between 0 and the specified maximum, but not including that maximum. So, for example, random 2 returns one of two numbers, 0 or 1. random 8 returns one of 8 numbers, between zero and 7. Note that random and its input must be isolated from other expressions using brackets () if you don’t want a random number based on that expression, for example, unless you want random 15 + 10 to return a number between 0 and 34, you need to use (random 15) + 10 to return a number between 10 and 24
