Setting a variable to a random number in a script call

[Zero0018]

$game_variables[13] == ?

How?

Set variable 13 == to random number between 1 and 3.

 

[seita]

$game_variables[13] = rand(3)+1

== checks to see if the two values on both sides are the same

= sets the value on the left to that of the right

also may be better to ask these questions here:

$game_variables[13] = rand(3) + 1

I know I shouldn't ask in topics I don't made, pleease excuse me for that. :'(
But the first two things I understand, one is for the variable number, the second thing is in what way they should randomize.
But why do I need the +1 at the end of it? (\s/)

rand(NUMBER) produces a number from 0 to (NUMBER - 1)... so in order to have a number from 1 to NUMBER, you need the +1

And what would one put into the script, if they wanted a random number out of a pool of seperate numbers (like 4, 6 and 12)?

$game_variables[x] = [1,3,5,7,9,0,11,31,41].shuffle[0]
