{{Template:RandomNumberGenerator:Value subtitle}}

This method returns the integer value, within a default or explicit range,
of the random number method object.
Using this method is the only way to get the random number
referred to by a <var>RandomNumberGenerator</var> object variable.
==Syntax==
{{Template:RandomNumberGenerator:Value syntax}}
===Syntax terms===
<table class="syntaxTable">
<tr><th>%number</th>
<td>A numeric variable to contain a random integer greater than or equal to <var class="term">min</var> and less than or equal to <var class="term">max</var>. </td></tr>
<tr><th>randomNumberGenerator</th>
<td>A <var>RandomNumberGenerator</var> object variable. </td></tr>
<tr><th>min</th>
<td>An optional integer that is the lower limit for the generated random number. The minimum value of this argument is the same as its default: -1,000,000,000. </td></tr>
<tr><th>max</th>
<td>An optional integer that is the upper limit for the generated random number. The maximum value of this argument is the same as its default: 1,000,000,000.</td></tr>
</table>

==Usage notes==
<ul>
<li>Since the <var>Value</var> method has no parameters,
you can use either of the following ways if you want a fresh
starting datum for each <var>Value</var> call:
<p class="code">%num = %(randomNumberGenerator):new:value(1,10)

%num = %(randomNumberGenerator):new(salt=%i):value(1,10)
</p>

In the latter case, <code>%i</code> might be a counter that gets incremented at each <var>New</var> call.
</ul>
