Generate a random float from 0 to x, not including x. E.g. random(4) can generate 0, 2.5, 3.29293, but not 4. Use floor(random(4)) to generate just the whole numbers 0, 1, 2, 3.

Good post from Ashley HERE discusses this and explains why it should be done a particular way, and THIS LINK discusses how weighting would affect the results, which would probably be the same for floor.
