Math.round, on the other hand, skews the numbers heavily away from the min and max values, you'll hardly ever get them. After some quick testing, this seems to work much better: <code> Math.floor(Math.random() * (maxValue - minValue + 1)) + minValue; </code></p> Sun, 01 Aug 2010 04:24:04 UTC https://ipv6.snipplr.com/view/37686/random-number-integer-generator https://ipv6.snipplr.com/view/37686/random-number-integer-generator <p>Thanks for the feedback mwalsh! Like most code, this was written out of utility, and it's very cool of you to help me refine it. I've updated the snippet. Thanks!</p> Thu, 19 Aug 2010 07:26:39 UTC https://ipv6.snipplr.com/view/37686/random-number-integer-generator
