arc4random_uniform(someNumber: UInt32) -> UInt32

This gives you random integers in the range 0 to someNumber - 1.

The maximum value for UInt32 is 4,294,967,295 (that is, 2^32 - 1).

Examples:

• Coin flip

let flip = arc4random_uniform(2) // 0 or 1

• Dice roll

let roll = arc4random_uniform(6) + 1 // 1...6

• Random day in October

let day = arc4random_uniform(31) + 1 // 1...31

• Random year in the 1990s

let year = 1990 + arc4random_uniform(10)

General form:

let number = min + arc4random_uniform(max - min + 1)

where number, max, and min are UInt32.

Notes

• There is a slight modulo bias with arc4random so arc4random_uniform is preferred.
• You can cast a UInt32 value to an Int but just beware of going out of range.
