Question

For some reason the following code doesn’t work.

var a1 = Math.floor(Math.random()*4+1); 

//Answer2
for(a2 = 0; a2 != a1 && a2 != 0; a2 = Math.floor(Math.random()*4+1)){
    alert(a2);
}

I’m trying to get “a2” to be a int from 1-4 but not equivalent to “a1”.

What’s wrong?
Thanks in advance!!!

EDIT:

Thank you all for your help!
Here’s my final result:

var a1, a2;
a1 = Math.floor(Math.random()*4+1); 
a2 = a1;

while(a2 == a1){
        a2 = Math.floor(Math.random() * 3 + 1);
        alert(a2);
}

Answer 1

How about a while loop instead? Initialise a2 = a1 and then:

while(a2 == a1) {
    a2 = Math.floor(Math.random() * 4 + 1);
}
