The GenerateInteger command outputs a pseudo-random integer, generated using the MersenneTwister algorithm.

When generating a large number of random integers it is faster to create a generating procedure by calling NewGenerator than to call GenerateInteger.

The following optional arguments are supported. They are input as equations in any order.

range=integer..integer or integer

If the value of the range argument is a range, then the integer is chosen from that range.  If the value of the range argument is an integer, then the integer is chosen from the range 0..value-1.  The default value is $1000000000000$.
