# RandRange

Return a random int between number1 and number 2

## Method Signature

```
RandRange(number1=[numeric], number2=[numeric], algorithm=[string])
```

### Arguments

| Argument    | Type      | Required | Description | Default |
| ----------- | --------- | -------- | ----------- | ------- |
| `number1`   | `numeric` | `true`   |             |         |
| `number2`   | `numeric` | `true`   |             |         |
| `algorithm` | `string`  | `false`  |             |         |

## Examples

### Tag Example

The following example calls the Randomize function to seed the random number generator and generates 10 random numbers.

```java
<bx:set r = randomize( 7, "SHA1PRNG" ) > 
 <bx:set local.MYINT = 1 > 
 <bx:set local.MYINT2 = 999 > 
<!--- Generate and display the random number. ---> 
 <bx:output><p><b> 
 RandRange returned: #randRange( local.MYINT, local.MYINT2, "SHA1PRNG" )# 
 </bx:output></b></p>  
```

### Script Example

```java
<bx:script>
	bytes = [];
	bytecount = 32;
	arrayResize( bytes, byteCount );
	for( i = 1; i <= byteCount; i++ ) {
		bytes[ i ] = randRange( -128, 127, "SHA1PRNG" );
	}
</bx:script>
 
 <bx:dump var="#bytes#"/>  
```

### Additional Examples

```java
writeDump( randRange( 25, 125, "bxmX_COMPAT" ) );
writeDump( randRange( 100, 500, "SHA1PRNG" ) );

```
