- * Returns a single random floating-point number.
- * The lower bound is inclusive, the upper bound is exclusive, unless `multipleOf` is passed.
+ * Returns a single random floating-point number, by default between `0.0` and `1.0`. To change the range, pass a `min` and `max` value. To limit the number of decimal places, pass a `multipleOf` or `fractionDigits` parameter.
*
* @param options Upper bound or options object.
- * @param options.min Lower bound for generated number. Defaults to `0.0`.
- * @param options.max Upper bound for generated number. Defaults to `1.0`.
- * @param options.precision Precision of the generated number, for example `0.01` will round to 2 decimal points.
- * If precision is passed, the upper bound is inclusive.
- * @param options.multipleOf The generated number will be a multiple of this property.
- * This property can be used to limit the result to a specific number of decimal digits.
- * For example `0.01` will round to 2 decimal points.
- * If `multipleOf` is passed, the upper bound is inclusive.
- * This option is incompatible with the `fractionDigits` option.
- * @param options.fractionDigits The maximum number of digits to appear after the decimal point.
- * This option is incompatible with the `multipleOf` option.
+ * @param options.min Lower bound for generated number, inclusive. Defaults to `0.0`.
+ * @param options.max Upper bound for generated number, exclusive, unless `multipleOf`, `precision` or `fractionDigits` are passed. Defaults to `1.0`.
+ * @param options.precision Deprecated alias for `multipleOf`. Only one of `multipleOf`, `precision` or `fractionDigits` should be passed.
+ * @param options.multipleOf The generated number will be a multiple of this parameter. Only one of `multipleOf`, `precision` or `fractionDigits` should be passed.
+ * @param options.fractionDigits The maximum number of digits to appear after the decimal point, for example `2` will round to 2 decimal points. Only one of `multipleOf`, `precision` or `fractionDigits` should be passed.
*
* @throws When `min` is greater than `max`.
* @throws When `precision` is negative.
