+The `math.Rand` function returns a pseudo-random number in the [half-open interval] [0.0, 1.0).

+To generate a random integer in the [closed interval] [0, 5]:

+```
+
+To generate a random integer in the closed interval [1, 6]:
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ math.Rand | mul 6 | math.Ceil }}
+```
+
+To generate a random float, with one digit after the decimal point, in the closed interval [0, 4.9]:
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ div (math.Rand | mul 50 | math.Floor) 10 }}

+###### interval
+
+An [interval](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interval_(mathematics)) is a range of numbers between two endpoints: closed, open, or half-open.
+
+- A _closed_ interval, denoted by brackets, includes its endpoints. For example, [0,&nbsp;1]&nbsp;is the interval where `0 <= x <= 1`.
+
+- An _open_ interval, denoted by parenthesis, excludes its endpoints. For example, (0,&nbsp;1)&nbsp;is the interval where `0 < x < 1`.
+
+- A _half-open_ interval includes only one of its endpoints. For example, (0,&nbsp;1]&nbsp;is the _left-open_ interval where `0 < x <= 1`, while [0,&nbsp;1)&nbsp;is the _right-open_ interval where `0 <= x < 1`.
