Generate a Random Number within a Range

The randomInRange function generates a random integer between a specified minimum and maximum value.

const randomInRange = (min, max) => Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min;

// Output: A random number between 1 and 10
console.log(randomInRange(1, 10)); 

// Output: A random number between 50 and 100
console.log(randomInRange(50, 100)); 

// Output: A random number between -10 and 10
console.log(randomInRange(-10, 10)); 

How it works:

1. Math.random() generates a random floating-point number between 0 (inclusive) and 1 (exclusive).

2. (max - min + 1) scales this random value to the desired range.

3. Math.floor() rounds the result down to the nearest integer.

4. + min shifts the scaled number to start at the minimum value.

Use Cases:

• Games and Simulations: Generate random events, positions, or outcomes.

• Test Data: Create randomized datasets for testing algorithms or applications.

• Dynamic Applications: Randomize UI elements, animations, or actions.
