How do I generate a random integer from 1-5?
Solved!

Funny when I run this code it give me 1-6.
This post makes absolutely no sense unless you tell us which, of all the many versions above, you mean by "this code". 😄
(It certainly cannot be mine, unless you don't copy it right and e.g. confuse "round to -inf" with "round to nearest", for example.).
Why don't you attach the code that does not work so we can have a look. 😉

You are correct I did get the round to mixed up. Sorry.
Here is my random 1..5 using Round Toward +Infinity. does not need +1
Another thing i wanted to add to this thread is random gives you a number between 0 and 1. You dont get 0 or 1 back from the random number. you may get .9999 or 0.00001 but not 1 or 0. A previous post said you dont get 1 which is half true.

Let's be clear here: 0 is possible; very, very unlikely; but possible. 1 is not possible. By your standard you don't get 0.5 (or any specific value you choose like 0).
While I am here, this is my generic random integer generator [Start..Stop].
