/**
 * Produces a random number between the inclusive `lower` and `upper` bounds.
 * If only one argument is provided a number between `0` and the given number
 * is returned. If `floating` is `true`, or either `lower` or `upper` are
 * floats, a floating-point number is returned instead of an integer.
 *
 * **Note:** JavaScript follows the IEEE-754 standard for resolving
 * floating-point values which can produce unexpected results.
 *
 * @since 0.7.0
 * @category Number
 * @param {number} [lower=0] The lower bound.
 * @param {number} [upper=1] The upper bound.
 * @param {boolean} [floating] Specify returning a floating-point number.
 * @returns {number} Returns the random number.
 * @see uniqueId
 * @example
 *
 * random(0, 5)
 * // => an integer between 0 and 5
 *
 * random(5)
 * // => also an integer between 0 and 5
 *
 * random(5, true)
 * // => a floating-point number between 0 and 5
 *
 * random(1.2, 5.2)
 * // => a floating-point number between 1.2 and 5.2
