generate a random number in javascript

To generate a random number in JavaScript, you can use the Math.random() function. This function returns a floating-point number between 0 and 1 (excluding 1). You can multiply the result by the range you want and add the minimum value to generate a number within the desired range.

Here is an example code block that generates a random integer between 1 and 100 inclusive:

index.tsx
function getRandomInt(min, max) {
  return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min;
}

const randomInt = getRandomInt(1, 100);
console.log(randomInt);

In the example code, the getRandomInt function takes two arguments, min and max, which define the range of the random number. The Math.floor function rounds the multiplied result down to the nearest integer, which gives us an integer between the specified range. Finally, we add the min value to shift the range to the desired minimum value.

Using the getRandomInt function with arguments 1 and 100, we can generate a random integer between 1 and 100, and assign it to the randomInt variable. The code then logs the value of randomInt to the console.
