-
This function is an interface to the simple pseudo-random generator
function `rand` provided by ANSI C. (No guarantees can be given for its
statistical properties.)
When called without arguments, returns a uniform pseudo-random real
number in the range *[0,1)*. When called with an integer number `m`,
`math.random` returns a uniform pseudo-random integer in the range *[1,
m]*. When called with two integer numbers `m` and `n`, `math.random`
returns a uniform pseudo-random integer in the range *[m, n]*.
Parameters:
- m
- n

Sets `x` as the "seed" for the pseudo-random generator: equal seeds
produce equal sequences of numbers.
