getRandomInteger
Returns a randomly selected integer from between the given lower and upper bounds.
The lower bound is inclusive and the upper bound is exclusive. If the lower bound = 1 and the upper bound = 5, the function randomly selects and returns one of the following: 1, 2, 3, or 4.
Tip
This function returns an integer. The getRandomNumber function returns decimals.
Parameters
LOWER BOUND (number)

UPPER BOUND (number)
Optional. Defines the upper bound for the return value. Must be an integer and higher than the LOWER BAND value. The highest possible value is 2,147,483,647. The upper bound is exclusive.
