Usage

Overview

numrandom will print out a random number determined by the expression that you give. The syntax and program is nearly identical to the numrange program, except that numrandom picks a number at random from the range expression. If no expression is specified, numrandom will print out a random integer between 1 and 100. Ranges are inclusive.
