Random Number generator

[Shuchi]

Sorry to bother again. Can you share an algorithm to generate a random
number between 0 & 9, and one for 0 & 99..? Can we borrow from Steve's
balloon app?

Thanks,
Shuchi

To generate a random *float* between 0.0 and 0.9999999, use
Math.random().

To generate a random *float* between 0.0 and 9.999999, use
Math.random() * 10.

To generate a random *integer* between 0 and 9, use
Math.floor(Math.random() * 10).

For a full explanation of how this works, check out this explanation:

Now, can you see how to generate numbers between 0 & 99 as well?

Finally, can you write a function that takes in a "max" parameter, and
then generates a number between 0 & max?

Hope this helps!
