rand)Random field generator
rand can generate random numbers, strings and other data
types.
rand data-type [ max-value ]Random integer (64-bit on 64-bit machines):
rand intRandom integer between 0 and 9:
rand int 9Random floating point number between 0 and 1:
rand floatRandom string, fixed to 5 characters long:
rand str 5* Alias for str (string)float Random floating point number between 0 and 1.
max-value not supportedint Random integer, max-value
specifies highest value for integernum Alias for int in this builtinstr Random string of printable ASCII characters.
max-value specifies the fixed length of the stringWARNING: is should be noted that while rand can produce
random numbers and strings which might be useful for password
generation, neither the RNG nor the the random string generator (which
is ostensibly the same RNG but applied to an array of bytes within the
range of printable ASCII characters) are considered cryptographically
secure.
