Can you explain something for me? I understand MOST of the formula, but not all. =TIME(6,RANDBETWEEN(0,180),0)

I understand the 6 (6 oclock) and the 180 (180 minutes-three hours past 6 = 9), but what about the 0 in (0,180)?

Thanks

RANDBETWEEN(0,180) means that it picks a random number between 0 and 180. 0 is your lower bound and 180 is your upper. For example, a RANDBETWEEN(10,180) would never return a 1, 2, or 3, ect..
