 ====== RandInt ======
-randInt(0 10) ->randi
+randInt(<-first <-second) ->randi
 ===== Description =====
-Returns a random integer from a range of two numbers Inclusive of the lower number, but exclusive of the higher number. A workaround for between 0 and 10 both inclusive is in the example below. It is to do 0 11 RandInt, so 11 will exclude but 10 will include [basically, 0 10 1 add RandInt]

+General convention would be having the first number be lower, but it does also work in reverse, but the second number stays as the exclusive one.  I.e. RandInt (1 -1) can return 1 or 0.
