random() - Arduino Docs
The random function generates pseudo-random numbers. Syntax. random (max) random (min, max) Parameters. min: lower bound of the random value, inclusive (optional) max: upper bound of the random value, exclusive; Returns. A random number between min and max-1. Data type: long. Example Code. The code generates random numbers and displays them.
