Generating random numbers?
What's the best way to generate random (or even pseudo-random) numbers? I notice that the CryptoUtil library can generate various random things (strings, longs, doubles, etc.) but oddly, there is no function to generate random integers. Should I be creating a random long and then convert it back to an integer? I would have expected there to be an easier way. Am I missing something obvious?
I’m feeling pretty random.

Inappropriate?OK, I think I answered my own question. Generating a long integer within a specific range seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. I guess I was surprised to find these functions in the Crypto library and also that the function name was "GenerateRandomLong"/"GenerateRandomLongRange".
Works well, though.
I’m feeling less randomized.
