    Let’s say you want to generate a number between a and b you can always do that using this formula:

    randomNum = (b-a)*prng.rand + a
    

    So if you want a number between -8 and +7 for example then a=-8 and b=7 and your code would be

    randomNum = (7-(-8))*prng.rand + (-8)
    

    which is equivalent to

    randomNum=15*prng.rand - 8
