Random Numbers

Question: How do I generate random numbers in JavaScript?

Answer: To generate random floating-point numbers in the range from 0 to 1, use the Math.random() method:

num = Math.random()  // num is random, from 0 to 1 
If you need random floating-point numbers in the range from A to B, use this code:
num = A + (B-A)*Math.random()  // num is random, from A to B
