roll
Roll is a command line tool commonly used in computing to generate random numbers within a given range. It is useful for various applications such as game development, statistical analysis, and simulation. Roll allows users to define the range for random number generation, specifying the minimum and maximum values. The tool supports both integer and floating-point numbers, offering flexibility depending on the specific requirements. In addition to generating a single random number, Roll can also produce multiple random numbers at once, which is particularly helpful when dealing with large data sets or when repeated random number generation is needed. The program uses various algorithms and techniques to ensure randomness and unbiased results. Roll is often included in Unix-like operating systems by default and is accessible through the command line interface. It is a lightweight and efficient tool, making it a popular choice for developers and researchers working with random number generation in command line environments.
