Not to be confused with Random number generator.

XKCD Random Number is a challenge that requires you to rewrite the program in XKCD's 221st page in another language, as either a function or a full program that prints the return value. You may comment your program just like XKCD did, if possible.

Or in other words: This program simply outputs 4.

Hi, XKCDsRandomNumberOKHello world.

Befunge

4.@

The program above prints an extra space. If you don't want an extra space, use the one below. 

"4",@

Roll dice, random totally.

Alternative, using Unicode output instead of numeric output: 

Get it, rolls it.
Always random.

While functions in this programming language don't "return" values, functions can have effects on the stack/heap. The first line of the following program defines a function that pushes 4 onto the stack, and the second line calls that function and prints the resulting stack value. 

Returns randomly-put-out number, chosen with dice-rolling way.
Readied with the new random number, output value.
