Math.random() returns undefined

[miraclemenikelechi]

i have this code to generate a random number, but it returns undefined. anyone knows why it says so? thanks.

let NUMBER={
SIZE: 9
};

const random = () => {
Math.floor(Math.random() * NUMBER.SIZE);
};

let digit = random();
console.log(digit)

@miraclemenikelechi

const random = () => {
Math.floor(Math.random() * NUMBER.SIZE);
};

When you use a code block with an arrow function, it works like a “regular” function, and you need to use the return statement:

const random = () => {
  return Math.floor(Math.random() * NUMBER.SIZE);
};

If you didn’t add curly braces (so no code block) then whatever it evaluates to will be what is returned:

const random = () =>
  Math.floor(Math.random() * NUMBER.SIZE);

or

const random = () => Math.floor(Math.random() * NUMBER.SIZE);

thanks, it had given me a hard time processing to my little understanding. i felt i was getting it. thank you for the explanation, the correction works!

This is confusing stuff, it takes time.
