randomInt
Canonical ID: random.integer. Nederlands: willekeurigGeheel.
Returns one whole number within the inclusive interval. Equal bounds always return that bound. The random stream is deterministic for a given runtime run; do not use this educational random function for passwords, security tokens, or cryptographic keys. Bounds must already be whole numbers; they are not rounded.

Notes and common mistakes
Use the function name for your source language. Its canonical ID is a shared documentation label; you do not type that ID as a call. Giving your own variable or function the same name can hide the built-in. Supply the documented arguments and value types. Pliro reports mismatches when checking can detect them, or when the call runs.
