Hi everyone, 

I seek for creating a discrete random variable with the following characteristics. Let i be an integer between 1 and 100. The random variable is an integer, among i-x, i-x+1, i-x+2..., i-1, i+1, i+2... i+x. For example, with i=20 and x=5, the random variable is an integer between 15 and 25; with i=23 (and again x=5), the random variable is an integer between 18 and 28; and with i=98, the random variable is an integer among 93, 94... 97 and then 99, 100, 1, 2, 3.

Each possible value has the same probability, that is, 1/2x.

Any tips? Thank you in advance.
