The flavor integer describes a random integer in a particular range.

To describe a flavor of a random integer, use either integer or integer(opt) (where opt is as described below) as the argument to RandomTools[Generate] or as part of a structured flavor .

By default, the flavor integer describes a random integer in the range $\mathrm{-499999999994}..499999999994$, inclusive.

You can modify the properties of the random integer by using the integer(opt) form of this flavor. The opt argument can contain one or more of the following equations.

range = a..b

This option specifies the range from which the random integer is chosen.

The endpoints must be of type integer and they describe a random integer in the interval $a..b$, inclusive.

If the left-hand endpoint of the range is greater than the right-hand endpoint, an exception is raised.

exclude= {n1,n2,...}

This option specifies one or more individual integers that should be excluded from the possible return values.
