[Tutor] problem with simple script

[Richard D. Moores]

I have a practical need for a script that will give me a random int in the
closed interval [n, m]. Please see <http://tutoree7.pastebin.com/xeCjE7bV>.

This works fine when I enter both n and m as, for example, "23, 56", or even
"56, 23". But often the closed interval is [1, m], so I'd like to not have
to enter the 1 in those cases, and just enter, say, "37" to mean the
interval [1, 37]. Highlighted lines 9-11 are my attempt to do this, but it
fails. This seems like it should be so simple to do, but it isn't not for
me. Advice, please.

Thanks,

Dick Moores
