numpy randint arguments exclusive

In the official NumPy documentation, numpy.random.randint has an exclusive second argument.

random.randint(low, high=None, size=None, dtype=int)
    Return random integers from low (inclusive) to high (exclusive).

Then, I thought random.randint(1, 5) returns values 1, 2, 3, or 4, but it actually gives values among 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

What went wrong?

You’re conflating numpy.random.randint with Python’s random.randint (from the random module in the standard library), the latter of which has an inclusive upper bound.
