/*****************************************************************************
We can adapt the Random() function to return integers within a specified
integer range. When a real value is converted to an integer, we truncate
(discard) the fractional part, leaving the integer part. For example,

Print("*** Example of Truncation ***");
Real r = 3.14159;
Print("Real r = ", r);
Integer i = Integer(r);
Print("Truncated = ", i);

prints 3. Truncation is equivalent to the floor function.
The iRandom() function below is a method to generate integer random values over
an integer range. It uses the Musimat library Real Random(Real, Real) function
to return a Real numerical range, then truncates the result to an integer by type
casting the result to type Integer. This behavior is identical to the Musimat
function Integer Random(Integer, Integer), but is reproduced here for dydactic
reasons (to keep things simple).

/*****************************************************************************
Note that I added 1.0 to the upper real boundary in iRandom(). Truncation of the random
result necessitates slightly increasing the top end of the range of choice.
For example, in order to choose a value in the integer range 0 to 9, we must
generate a random real value x that lies in the range 0.0 <= x < 10.0. This
gives an equal chance of obtaining an integer in the range 0 to 9.
Here are ten values generated by iRandom() over the interval [0,10].
