Random Number Generator
Generate random numbers within a custom range. Perfect for games, lotteries, random selections, and testing.
Key Terms
- Random Number: Unpredictable number generated by algorithm
- Range: Minimum and maximum boundaries (min-max)
- Pseudorandom: Computer-generated randomness (appears random but algorithmic)
- Seed: Starting value for random generation (not used here)
- Multiple Generation: Creating many random numbers at once
What Are These Terms?
Random Number
A number generated without predictable pattern. Computers use algorithms to create "pseudorandom" numbers that appear random for practical purposes.
Range
The minimum and maximum values define your range. For example, range 1-100 can generate any whole number between 1 and 100 (inclusive).
Multiple Generation
Instead of generating one number at a time, you can create multiple random numbers in one click - useful for lottery picks, team assignments, or A/B testing.
How Does The Tool Work?
Generation Method
Uses JavaScript's Math.random() algorithm:
- Generates decimal between 0 and 1
- Scales to your min-max range
- Rounds to whole number
- Repeats for count you specify
Real-World Examples
Example 1: Dice Roll
- Min: 1, Max: 6, Count: 1
- Result: 4
- Perfect for board games
Example 2: Lottery Numbers
- Min: 1, Max: 49, Count: 6
- Result: 7, 23, 31, 42, 15, 38
- Generate lottery ticket numbers
Example 3: Random Selection
- Min: 1, Max: 100, Count: 10
- Result: 45, 12, 89, 67, 3, 91, 28, 54, 76, 19
- Select 10 random participants from 100
