NOTE: It's out of 256 as max, so 'ifrnd 256 = 100%', and 'ifrnd 128 = 50%'
A <value> greater or equal to 255 corresponds to a 100% probability that the first block is taken. With a <value> of -1, the "else" block is taken every time. (A <value> of 0 means taking the "if" block once out of 256 on average).

ifrnd <value> { do something } else { do something else }

An if condition stating the probability of it 'doin somethin!' in this case.

A <value> greater or equal to 255 corresponds to a 100% probability that the first block is taken. With a <value> of -1, the "else" block is taken every time. (A <value> of 0 means taking the "if" block once out of 256 on average).
