The rand command generates a random floating point number. If you give one argument, it returns a number between 0 and the argument:
rand(1000); // Result: 526.75028 //
If you give two arguments, it returns a random number between the first and second arguments:
rand(100,200); // Result: 183.129179 //
See also the sphrand, gauss, and seed commands.
