Hi! The title says it all. so can floor(random(5)) == 5

Doesnt random pick a value between the limits you provide. If so this line should never return 5 as floor will round everything down to 4. If you use round or ceiling on the other hand that should work.

Can random(5) output the number 5?

If you use round() or ceil() instead it can pick the passed argument.
