[jira] [Commented] (LANG-1224) Extend RandomStringUtils with
methods that generate strings between a min and max length
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1224?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15275646#comment-15275646 ]

To quote Gary Gregory from https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1224
>It seems really confusing that some new APIs would use an inclusive max while existing APIs use an exclusive max.
Current APIs with exclusive max:
random(int, int, int, boolean, boolean)
random(int, int, int, boolean, boolean, char...)
random(int, int, int, boolean, boolean, char[], Random)
So for the sake of consistency with the existing methods and the java random api, an exclusive max should be used.
