Making random number with math and math floor.

Because floor is a static method of math you always use it as math floor rather than as a method of a math object you created math is not a constructor. A number representing the largest integer less than or equal to the specified number. Math floor math random 100 1. The max min 1 is the logic that creates the range.

The math random function returns a floating point pseudo random number in the range 0 to less than 1 inclusive of 0 but not 1 with approximately uniform distribution over that range which you can then scale to your desired range. The random method returns a random number from 0 inclusive up to but not including 1 exclusive. Hence the math class java provides these two constants as double fields. Math random will give you a floating point number between 0 inclusive and 1 exclusive.

When you add the min at the end you are adding the 2 to your range and end up with a random number from 2 to 10. Math floor x parameters x a number. Returns a random integer from 1 to 100 try it yourself a proper random function as you can see from the examples above it might be a good idea to create a proper random function to use for all random integer purposes. Math pi having a value as 3 141592653589793.

Math e having a value as 2 718281828459045. So you can get a random number from 10 to 15 for example. Multiplying that by 256 will give you a number in the range 0 inclusive through 256 exclusive but still floating point. By multiplying the random number which is between 0 and 1 by 5 we make it a random number between 0 and 5 for example 3 1841.

What it does extra is it allows random intervals that do not start with 1. A let us have a look at the table below that shows us the basic methods and its description.
