# RandomReal (Int)

| **Name**    | ***RandomReal***                                                                                           |
| ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Syntax      | RandomReal (Integer min, Integer max)                                                                      |
| Purpose     | To generate a random number.                                                                               |
| Description | Generates a random number within a range defined by min and max values.                                    |
| Return Type | Real                                                                                                       |
| Parameters  | <p>min \[System.Int32] – Minimum number to return</p><p>max \[System.Int32] – Maximum number to return</p> |

**Example**

In this example, we are passing *min* and *max* values to the function transformation object using a *Variables* object.

Where,

*min* = 1

*max* = 5

In the *Data Preview* window, you can see that a random real value, which falls within the provided *min* and *max* values, has been generated.
