Set minimum for random number generator

O

OrganicFreeStyle

Hi all. I'm programming a model of economic relationships in both
python and ruby near simultaneously, and as with most simulations, I
need to generate a random number within a specific range. I'm a python
man, and in python you can call random.randint(min, max) to achieve
this. Rand allows you to set the max, but what about the min? Is there
a similar method to Python's randint() in Ruby? Alternative random
number generators that have this ability? Thanks.

min + rand (max-min)
