I have a MEL (maya enbedde language) question.  I need to assign a random
value to a float but i cant get it to work.  in theory it should.
i try:

rand 0 2;

and it works fine
i then try :
float $random;
$random = 'rand 0 2';

and it doesnt.

Any ideas why??

I've never seen the language before, but the first thing I would try would
be to remove the quotes.

I agree. Usually quotes indicates a string.
So.. If this works like most other languages,
you are trying to put string into a float.
