random number gen js code example
Example 1: how to generate a random number in javascript
//To genereate a number between 0-1
Math.random();
//To generate a number that is a whole number rounded down
Math.floor(Math.random())
/*To generate a number that is a whole number rounded down between
1 and 10 */
Math.floor(Math.random() * 10) + 1 //the + 1 makes it so its not 0.
Example 2: generate random integer javascript
/**
* Returns a random number between min (inclusive) and max (exclusive)
*/
function getRandomArbitrary(min, max) {
return Math.random() * (max - min) + min;
}
/**
* Returns a random integer between min (inclusive) and max (inclusive).
* The value is no lower than min (or the next integer greater than min
* if min isn't an integer) and no greater than max (or the next integer
* lower than max if max isn't an integer).
* Using Math.round() will give you a non-uniform distribution!
*/
function getRandomInt(min, max) {
min = Math.ceil(min);
max = Math.floor(max);
return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min;
}
Example 3: javascript random()
var randomNo = Math.floor(Math.rand() * 10000000001);
console.log(randomNo);
//This will generate random number
