C:\Users\Bart\LazarusProjecten>test random(-10) = -1 C:\Users\Bart\LazarusProjecten>test random(-10) = -4 Maybe my understanding of English ("strictly less than") is not correct, so I ask here before posting as a bugreport.
My scant knowledge of English leads me to believe that the sentence should be rephrased in order to cover the negative numbers case:
either: Random return a random number with the same sign of L, and whose absolute value is larger or equal to zero and strictly less than the absolute value of L. or: Random return a random number in the range 0 (included) to L (excluded). Just my 2c. Giuliano
