randomInt32 : () -> Result<Int32, Exception>

Produce a random 32-bit integer. This function can be slow, so it’s best to seed a generator if lots of random data is needed.

Returns:

type	description
`Result<Int32, Exception>`	`Ok(num)` of a random Int32 if successful or `Err(exception)` otherwise

randomInt64 : () -> Result<Int64, Exception>

Produce a random 64-bit integer. This function can be slow, so it’s best to seed a generator if lots of random data is needed.

Returns:

type	description
`Result<Int64, Exception>`	`Ok(num)` of a random Int64 if successful or `Err(exception)` otherwise

random : () -> Result<Number, Exception>

Produce a random number. This function can be slow, so it’s best to seed a generator if lots of random data is needed.

Returns:

type	description
`Result<Number, Exception>`	`Ok(num)` of a random number if successful or `Err(exception)` otherwise
