NAME

       Builtins::rand - Pseudo-random signed integer generator

SYNOPSIS

       Int rand( )

DESCRIPTION

       rand() returns a pseudo-random signed integer in the range +/- (2**31)-1

       You must call Builtins.srand (3kaya) before the first call to this function in a program.

    srand(12345);
    for i in [1..5] {
        putStr(rand()+" ");
    }

       Gives: 1995772607 -612336503 -885735441 457910745 1875493919

       The  rand() function is a low-quality but fast generator - for better quality numbers, use
       the optional Lfrand(3kaya) module or for cryptographic purposes, your computer's  hardware
       RNG.
