random_get_within_range

A float between min and max, both ends possible, computed as min + (max - min) * r and clamped back into the range if rounding strays.

The bounds can be given in either order: with min > max the result lies between max and min. Equal bounds give that value. The draw has 24 bits of resolution, so the result takes at most 2^24 distinct values across the range.
