in reply to Guess A Number

A side note (since the expected range of randam number is missing or i have missed it)...

my $answer = int(rand($max)) + 1;

...$answer lies in [1,$max], and w/ this... 

my $answer = int(rand($max + 1));

[download]

...produces $answer in [0,$max]. (Just thinking outloud.)

    This message kind of confuses me, too many variables and things to think about in the lines, lol. I believe I did test my version of int(rand($max)) + 1); with a range of 10 and it did randomly generate the top number (10) atleast once. I will check again just to be sure though.

    Thanks.
