--description--
You can generate a random whole number in the range from zero to a given number. You can also pick a different lower number for this range.
You'll call your minimum number min
and your maximum number max
.
This formula gives a random whole number in the range from min
to max
. Take a moment to read it and try to understand what this code is doing:
Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min
--instructions--
Create a function called randomRange
that takes a range myMin
and myMax
and returns a random whole number that's greater than or equal to myMin
and less than or equal to myMax
.
--hints--
The lowest random number that can be generated by randomRange
should be equal to your minimum number, myMin
.
assert(calcMin === 5);
The highest random number that can be generated by randomRange
should be equal to your maximum number, myMax
.
assert(calcMax === 15);
The random number generated by randomRange
should be an integer, not a decimal.
assert(randomRange(0, 1) % 1 === 0);
randomRange
should use both myMax
and myMin
, and return a random number in your range.
assert(
(function () {
if (
__helpers.removeJSComments(code).match(/myMax/g).length > 1 &&
__helpers.removeJSComments(code).match(/myMin/g).length > 2 &&
__helpers.removeJSComments(code).match(/Math.floor/g) &&
__helpers.removeJSComments(code).match(/Math.random/g)
) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
})()
