random integers in js code example

Example 1: random number javascript

/* 
   The Math.random() function returns a floating-point, pseudo-random
   number in the range 0 to less than 1 (inclusive of 0, but not 1)
   with approximately uniform distribution over that range — which you
   can then scale to your desired range. The implementation selects the
   initial seed to the random number generation algorithm; it cannot
   be chosen or reset by the user.
*/
function getRandomInt(max) {
   return Math.floor(Math.random() * Math.floor(max));
}

console.log(getRandomInt(3));
// expected output: 0, 1 or 2

console.log(getRandomInt(1));
// expected output: 0

console.log(Math.random());
// expected output: a number from 0 to <1

Example 2: javascript generate random number

Math.random();

Example 3: javascript randint

/* If 1 argument is given, minimum will be set to 0 and maximum to this argument
 * If 2 arguments were given, the fist would be the minimum and the second the maximum
 * The function will return an integer in [min, max[
 */
const Math.randint = function (min,max) {
  [min,max] = (max===undefined)?[0,min]:(min>max)[max,min]:[min,max];
  return Math.floor(Math.random*(max-min)+min);
}
