Random Number

This is the standard random number generator I use.

function get_random_number(max_number) {
  return Math.floor(
    (Math.random() * max_number) + 1
  )
}

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:

const max_number = 5 
const random_number = Math.floor(
  (Math.random() * max_number) + 1
)

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

..
  
console.log(random_number)
