Random.js

Introduction

Working with JavaScript, you may have noticed the absolute lack of random methods. Well don't worry! I've created a very very simple plugin to extend current random methods! (I know this already exists, but here is my version)

Instructions

Math.randomInt(min, max)

This gets a random integer between the min and max values

Click the button!

Math.randomDec(min, max, decimals)

This gets a random decimal number between the min and max values, precision to decimals

Click the button!

Math.randomList(list)

This chooses a random value from an array list

Click the button!

Usage

Plop this at the start of your code

(function () {
    Math.randomInt = function (min, max) {
        return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min)) + min;
    };
    Math.randomDec = function (min, max, decimals) {
        return (Math.random() * (max - min) + min).toFixed(decimals || 2);
    };
    Math.randomList = function (list) {
        return list[Math.randomInt(0, list.length)];
    };
})();
