Random number Math function

Random numbers are required in different applications like game, dice and many other applications. We can use JavaScript math function random() to generate random number between 0 and 1. We will use this function to generate random numbers between other numbers also. Here is the syntax

math.random(number);


The return value from this function is random number between 0 and 1. As we have to remove the decimal part to get random numbers between 0 to 10.

We will multiply the random number returned by math.random() by 11 and then take the floor value of it to get the random number. We have used floor value as this function returns the lower integer part only. If we use round function then the value will be adjusted to nearest integer so floor function gives more accurate random number.

Here is a random number generator, go on clicking the button to get random numbers.

}
