Random Number in xCode

Here is the code to generate the random number between some 2 values.

- (int) randomNumberFrom: (int) minValue to: (int) maxValue

{

    double probability = rand() / 2147483648.0;

    double range = maxValue - minValue + 1;

    return (int)(range * probability + minValue);

}

- (int) randomNumberFrom: (int) minValue to: (int) maxValue except:(int) exceptValue

{

    if(minValue == maxValue)

    {

        return minValue;

    }

    int result;

    while(exceptValue == (result = [self randomNumberFrom:minValue to:maxValue]))

    {

    }

    return result;

}
