How to generate random number within a specific range in groovy script

Question

How do I generate a random number within a specific range in Groovy Script? I want to generate the number between 10,000 and 90,000

Below are my attempts so far:

1.

 Math.abs(new Random().nextInt() % 10000) +90000

2.

(int)(10000 + 90000*Math.random())

Both of these generate a random number yes, but they are not within the range of 10,00-90,000

@cfrick Not a duplicate. that is Java this is using Groovy script — Humanid 1652487954543, Nov 06 '17 at 18:13
Minus syntax differences, any Java solution is usually a Groovy solution -- it might not be the shortest one. Have you tried the most upvoted soltion from that question with Groovy? `java.util.concurrent.ThreadLocalRandom.current().nextInt(10000,90000)` — cfrick, Nov 06 '17 at 19:49

I found my error: I just needed to switch the 90000 and the 10000 for 1. Correct code:

Math.abs(new Random().nextInt() % 90000) +10000

This is not correct to your requirements. You have to do a modul 80k instead. – cfrick Nov 06 '17 at 17:31
