Random Number

This is the standard random number generator I use.

01function get_random_number(max_number) {
02 return Math.floor(
03 (Math.random() * max_number) + 1
04 )
05}
..
  

console.log(get_random_number(5))
->

It works by setting a maximum number and then generates a number between 1 and whatever was set. It's inclusive so both 1 and whatever the max number is are possible values.


Here's the same thing without being wrapped in a function:

01const max_number = 5
02const random_number = Math.floor(
03 (Math.random() * max_number) + 1
04)
..
  

console.log(random_number)
