surely those 2 are not equivalent?
You are right.
The first can't return a value below 100000000
..... Which is wrong, by the way, based on the intent.
whereas the second could return a value as low as zero
..... Which I believe is closer to the intent of returning all "one
billion" possibilities. So instead of saying "just as well", I should
have said "more correctly".
