The rint(n) function generates a random integer in the range 0, ..., n-1 (inclusive). There are n numbers in that range. Hence, it is a selection of one number from a choice of n.

The rint(m,n) function generates a random integer in the range m, ..., n-1 (inclusive).

The rint(m,n,k) function generates a random integer in the range m, m+k, ..., m+qk (inclusive) where q is the largest integer such that m+qk<=n-k. That is, rint(n) = rint(0,n) = rint(0,n,1)
