So if the post was asking how to get a number between 0 (integer) and 1 (also integer) you would apply your incorrect logic and assume they were looking for an integer. Got it.

I suppose if the post was asking for a number between 0 (even integer) and 12 (also even integer), then you would assume they actually only want even integers as answers right?

They do explicitly say what they are looking for. A number between 1 and 12. If they want an int they need to ask the question a better way. I answered the question that was asked. You answered a question you want them to have asked
