# random(in:) Returns a random value within the specified range. ``` static func random(in range: ClosedRange) -> Self ``` ## Parameters `range` The range in which to create a random value. ## Return Value A random value within the bounds of `range`. ## Discussion Use this method to generate an integer within a specific range. This example creates three new values in the range `1...100`. ``` for _ in 1...3 { print(Int.random(in: 1...100)) } // Prints "53" // Prints "64" // Prints "5" ``` This method is equivalent to calling `random(in:using:)`, passing in the system’s default random generator. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
