Well, damn.
I had a very nicely formatted post all queued up and the browser crashed when I right clicked on a word to check its definition and spelling in this text area.
Anyway.
I will return to this to explain but mostly this is self-explanatory stuff.
Code: (Select All) ' For concatenating integers and stripping spaces
FUNCTION n$ (integ%)
n$ = _TRIM$(STR$(integ%))
END FUNCTION
' For showing friendly versions of my boolean constants
FUNCTION b$ (integ%)
IF integ% = -1 THEN
b$ = "TRUE"
ELSEIF integ% = 0 THEN
b$ = "FALSE"
ENDIF
END FUNCTION
' For concatenating longs and stripping spaces
FUNCTION ln$ (longval!)
ln$ = _TRIM$(STR$(longval!))
END FUNCTION
' For incrementing integers - x=inc(1) takes up 3 more chars than x=x+1 but inc is a bit easier for me to read.
FUNCTION inc% (value%)
inc% = value% + 1
END FUNCTION
' Same as above but decrement
FUNCTION dec% (value%)
dec% = value% - 1
END FUNCTION
' Inverting int
FUNCTION inv% (value%)
inv% = value% * -1
END FUNCTION
' Force int to be not less than min
FUNCTION min% (value%, minimum%)
IF value% < minimum% THEN value% = minimum%
min% = value%
END FUNCTION
' Force int to be not more than max
FUNCTION max% (value%, maximum%)
IF value% > maximum% THEN value% = maximum%
max% = value%
END FUNCTION
' Force int to be between a min and a max, when greater - clamp it between min and max
FUNCTION clamp% (value%, minimum%, maximum%)
IF value% > maximum% THEN
clamp% = maximum%
ELSEIF value% < minimum% THEN
clamp% = minimum%
ELSE
clamp% = value%
END IF
END FUNCTION
' Determine if a int is in range of a min and a max
FUNCTION in_range% (value%, minimum%, maximum%)
IF value% >= minimum% AND value% <= maximum% THEN
in_range% = TRUE
ELSE
in_range% = FALSE
END IF
END FUNCTION
' Randomize the sign of an int
FUNCTION rand_sign% ()
DIM r AS INTEGER
r% = -1 + INT(RND*2)
IF r% = 0 THEN r% = 1
rand_sign% = r%
END FUNCTION
' Create a random integer between min and max
FUNCTION rand_in_range% (minimum%, maximum%)
rand_in_range% = INT(RND * (maximum% - minimum% + 1)) + 1
END FUNCTION
' Randomly choose an int from an array of ints
FUNCTION rand_int_choice% (arr_choices%())
DIM AS INTEGER minimum, maximum
minimum% = LBOUND(arr_choices%) : maximum% = UBOUND(arr_choices%)
rand_int_choice% = arr_choices%(rand_in_range(minimum%, maximum%))
END FUNCTION

And...
How I wish we could have optional parameters in subs and funcs.
How I wish for a VARIANT type because lazy! then I could make one function or sub to handle all types of numbers, instead of requiring n$ and ln$ for example. One for ints, and one for longs.

+1 on Steve's _MEM comment, and he is the _MEM guru here...
I particularly like it for manipulating all sorts of arrays; integers, longs, fixed length strings, UDTs, etc.
BTW, here is how I generally approach integer value limiting.
Code: (Select All) 'Limit an integer argument to a maximum value
FUNCTION MaxOf% (value AS INTEGER, max AS INTEGER)
MaxOf% = -value * (value <= max) - max * (value > max)
END FUNCTION 'MaxOf%
'Limit an integer argument to a minimum value
FUNCTION MinOf% (value AS INTEGER, minimum AS INTEGER)
MinOf% = -value * (value >= minimum) - minimum * (value < minimum)
END FUNCTION 'MinOf%
'Limit an integer argument between minimum and maximum bounds
FUNCTION MinMax% (value AS INTEGER, min AS INTEGER, max AS INTEGER)
MinMax% = MaxOf%(MinOf%(value, min), max)
END FUNCTION 'MinMax%

How I wish we could have optional parameters in subs and funcs.
How I wish for a VARIANT type because lazy! then I could make one function or sub to handle all types of numbers, instead of requiring n$ and ln$ for example. One for ints, and one for longs.

I second that motion, lol.

If I were offering this code to other people I'd turn all those % into &&, and give a better name to that ln$ and change the input parameter type to && instead of !. This is so that it's useful with any integer type. What if you needed pretty-print for an _INTEGER64?
Also I prefer the "value&& * (-1)" instead of "-value&&" that somebody else proposed. It clearly explains what is going on. But then again this is a "toolbox" not meant for beginners trying to learn BASIC programming.
I was going to write something else just above but the following works, does give me -5 in Lua:
Code: (Select All) value = 5
print(-value)
Those metatables are as slick as the programmer wants them to be...

there are
i32

or
int32
