Random complete and in complete numbers

I have tried using Randi function,but it only gives me complete numbers.also tried rand but it doesn't give me to choose a specific range. Is there a function in matlab that would give me both complete and incomplete numbers in a specific range?I need to put this numbers in a matrix

To randomize uniformly over an interval [lower, upper], you would do,
out=rand(___)*(upper-lower)+lower

Where I can put the range of numbers ?because when I tried to put it gives me an error
Are you sure you looked in the help, because it does give you examples for how to specify a range.
For example, to generate a 5x4 matrix of numbers uniformly distributed between 7 and 9,
A=rand(5,4)*(9-7)+7;
I find that there option for me to choose a range in Randi function(that only gives complete numbers),but not in rand
Thank you so much?
that only gives complete numbers
No, you can use randi to generate any range of integers, not just the whole numbers. For example,
>> A=randi([-9,-7],5,4)
A =
-7 -7 -8 -7
-8 -7 -7 -7
-7 -9 -9 -8
-8 -7 -7 -9
-9 -8 -8 -7

See the "Random Numbers Within Specified Interval" example on the documentation page for the rand function.
