# random(in:)

Returns a random value within the specified range.

```
static func random(in range: ClosedRange<Self>) -> 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.
