generate a random number in typescript

To generate a random number in TypeScript, you can use the Math.random() method. This method returns a random number between 0 (inclusive) and 1 (exclusive).

To generate a random number within a specific range, you can multiply the result of Math.random() by the range and add the minimum value of the range.

Here is an example of generating a random number between 1 and 10:

index.ts
const min = 1;
const max = 10;
const random = Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min;
console.log(random); // prints a random integer between 1 and 10

This code first defines the minimum and maximum values of the range (1 and 10, respectively). Then it generates a random decimal number between 0 and 1 using Math.random(), multiplies it by the range (10 - 1 + 1 = 10), rounds down to the nearest integer using Math.floor(), and adds the minimum value of the range (1) to get a random integer between 1 and 10. Finally, it logs the result to the console.
