# random Generates a random floating-point number within a given range. This function takes a minimum and maximum value, and returns a random floating-point number within that range. ## Signature ```typescript function random(minimum: number, maximum: number): number; ``` ### Parameters - `minimum` (`number`): The lower bound for the random number (inclusive). - `maximum` (`number`): The upper bound for the random number (exclusive). ### Returns - (`number`): A random floating-point number within the specified range. ## Examples ```typescript const result1 = random(0, 5); // Returns a random floating-point number between 0 and 5. const result2 = random(5, 0); // If the minimum is greater than the maximum, an error is thrown const result3 = random(5, 5); // If the minimum is equal to the maximum, an error is thrown. ```
