By the way, here's the code from clojure.core:
(defn rand
"Returns a random floating point number between 0 (inclusive) and
1 (exclusive)."
([] (. Math (random)))
([n] (* n (rand
(defn rand-int
"Returns a random integer between 0 (inclusive) and n (exclusive)."
[n] (int (rand n))

By the way, you could shorten this to:
(defn gen-rands [max-val]
(take 100 (repeatedly #(rand-int max-val

rand-int says it returns "an integ

I've got the newest version of Clojure and wrote a simple program to
generate a list of 100 random numbers, but I seem to get a lot of
duplicate numbers (especially when I pick a large upper bound for
rand-int). My code is pretty similar to an example in the Programming
Clojure book:
(defn ge
