--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;
}
})()
);

var calcMin = 100;
var calcMax = -100;
for(var i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
var result = randomRange(5,15);
calcMin = Math.min(calcMin, result);
calcMax = Math.max(calcMax, result);
}
(function(){
if(typeof myRandom === 'number') {
return "myRandom = " + myRandom;
} else {
return "myRandom undefined";
}
})()
