Preposterous Code

Here's one of the more ridiculous scripts I've seen lately:

//chooses a number between argument0 and argument1
choice1=argument0
choice2=argument1

n=random(argument1)

ch=choose(floor(n))

if(argument0<argument1)
{
if(ch<argument0)
{
return random(argument1)
}
}
if(argument0>argument1)
{
if(ch<argument1)
{
return random(argument0)
}
}

Bonus:

EDIT: The script has been fixed

Wow. This script could certainly use a cleanup.

It's like a quantum script.  The outcome changed when he measured it.

Re: Preposterous Code

What the... hell.  A silly-straw distribution?

If argument0 is less than argument1, there's an argument0/argument1 chance that it'll return a random number between 0 and argument1.

If argument0 is greater than argument1, then it'll return a random number between 0 and argument0.

Ha.
