Use math variables to insert a random number into your functions.

## random

Returns a floating-point, pseudo-random number in the range \[`0`, `1`) (inclusive of `0`, but not `1`).

Use the following formula to generate an integer pseudo-random number in the range \[`min`, `max`] (inclusive of both, `min` and `max`):

{{floor(random * (1.max - 1.min + 1)) + 1.min}}
```

### Example: Roll the dice

You can employ the `random` variable to create a dice game that randomly picks a number, for example between 1 and 6, and then returns that number to a user.
