JavaScript: get a random number from a specific range

random.js

/**
 * Get a random floating point number between `min` and `max`.
 * 
 * @param {number} min - min number
 * @param {number} max - max number
 * @return {number} a random floating point number
 */
function getRandomFloat(min, max) {
  return Math.random() * (max - min) + min;
}

/**
 * Get a random integer between `min` and `max`.
 * 
 * @param {number} min - min number
 * @param {number} max - max number
 * @return {number} a random integer
 */
function getRandomInt(min, max) {
  return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1) + min);
}

/**
 * Get a random boolean value.
 * 
 * @return {boolean} a random true/false
 */
function getRandomBool() {
  return Math.random() >= 0.5;
}

Really helpful, thanks!

I know this isn't recent but any tips on actually getting random numbers when a button calls this function often? I was using this to get some random results and the page displays repeats even after refreshing and reloading everything.

Thanks, I needed it

Random boolean method can also be implemented so:

function getRandomBool() {
  return !!Math.round(Math.random());
}

Thanks dude, its work on my machine
