// crreate a whole random number between [0,20) function wholeRandomNumber(){ return Math.floor(Math.random() * 20) } console.log(wholeRandomNumber()) // random numbers within a range [min, max] function randomRange(min, max){ return Math.floor(Math.random()*(max-min + 1)) + min } console.log(randomRange(1,2)) // parseInt // return integer from a string. It will returrn NaN if string cannot be converted to a number […]
