# 5.5 Standard Module `rand`

The `rand` module simulates the C library's `rand()` interface, though the results aren't necessarily compatible with any given library's implementation. While still supported for compatibility, the `rand` module is now considered obsolete; if possible, use the `whrandom` module instead.

`choice` (seq)
  Returns a random element from the sequence seq.

`rand` ()
  Return a random integer between 0 and 32767, inclusive.

`srand` (seed)
  Set a starting seed value for the random number generator; seed can be an arbitrary integer.
