Github user PascalSchumacher commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/commons-lang/pull/101#issuecomment-217736263 To quote Gary Gregory from https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1224 >It seems really confusing that some new APIs would use an inclusive max while existing APIs use an exclusive max. Current APIs with exclusive max: random(int, int, int, boolean, boolean) random(int, int, int, boolean, boolean, char...) random(int, int, int, boolean, boolean, char[], Random) So for the sake of consistency with the existing methods and the java random api, an exclusive max should be used.
