can’t under stand the formula
Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min
Math.random() generates a random number where n>=0 and n<1, with lots of decimal points. To expand that out, to a range of numbers, we multiply it by the top number we want. To generate a number between 0 and 10, we would:
Math.random()*10 ;
That would give us a floating point number n>=0 and n<10. If we want to get an integer, we can apply
Math.floor(Math.random()*10);
That rounds it down so we get an integer such that n>=0 and n<=9 (Since the highest 10% of numbers are 9.x, they will round down to 9.) If we want them to be from 1-10, we have to add 1:
Math.floor(Math.random()*10)+1;
If you can follow that, then you can probably understand your formula. the (max-min) just makes sure it is the right range, and the + min just makes it start at the right place.
Although I question if the +1 should be inside the parentheses, but should be at the end.
{correction} Nope! I was wrong, that doesn’t work. Your formula is the right one.
Thanks for the explanation. I looked all over and can’t find a way to figure out what this formula means.
