As mentioned in the above answer, the two arguments mean these two things:
- M is the minimum number.
- N is the maximum number.
However, number can be a bit misleading. This is because math.random() only takes integers, not floating-point numbers (decimals). That means that this would work…
1 | local num = math.random(1, 10) |
…but this would throw an error:
1 | local num = math.random(0.01, 0.1) |
