function randomRange(myMin, myMax) {
return Math.floor(Math.random() * (myMax - myMin + 1)) + myMin
}
console.log(randomRange(1, 9));
// If the values were myMin = 1, myMax= 9, one result could be the following:
// Math.random() = 0.27934406917448573
// (myMax - myMin + 1) = 9 - 1 + 1 -> 9
// 0.27934406917448573 * 9 = 2.51409662257
// 2.51409662257 + 1 = 3.51409662257
// Math.floor(3.51409662257) = 3
- 1. Randomizing a decimal, then taking 9 - 1 which is 8 then adding it to + 1 which is 9.
- 2. Then taking the randomized decimal that it gave us and multiply it by 9.
- 3. The result of that multiplication will then + 1;
- 4. Then result will be “rounded” to the largest integer less than or equal to it (eg: 3.5 would result in 3) which in this case will be.
