Question

I’m generating a random number between min and max with this code:

return min + (max - min) * Math.random();

And it works. However, the random numbers are very little usually between “1 or 3” even if the max is 80.

How can I better distribute the random numbers over all range ?

thanks

Answer 1

I am very sure that the code you posted, return min + (max - min) * Math.random();
, should return an evenly distributed random number between min (inclusive) and max (exclusive). There is no reason why it would return between 1 and 3.. Did you try tracing min and max to make sure that they are the numbers you think they are?
