Random Number Generator
Random Number Generator
Generate a single random integer between any two numbers.
Multiple Random Numbers
Generate a list of multiple random numbers at once.
Random Decimal Number
Generate a random decimal (floating-point) number with custom precision.
Random Number Sequence
Generate a shuffled sequence of all integers within a range — every number appears exactly once.
Dice Roller
Roll one or more dice with common sided options.
What is a Random Number?
A random number is a number generated by a process that produces an unpredictable result. Computers use Pseudo-Random Number Generators (PRNGs) — algorithms that produce sequences of numbers that appear random but are determined by a starting value called a seed.
How does Math.random() work?
Math.random() Returns a float between 0 (inclusive) and 1 (exclusive)
Math.floor(Math.random() * (max − min + 1)) + min Formula for integers
Math.random() * (max − min) + min Formula for decimals
Types of Randomness
PRNG — Pseudo-Random: uses an algorithm + seed. Fast, repeatable, used in simulations.
TRNG — True Random: uses physical noise (thermal, atmospheric). Used in cryptography.
CSPRNG — Cryptographically Secure: unpredictable even knowing past outputs. Used in security keys.
Common Uses
Games & Simulations — dice rolls, card shuffles, procedural generation
Security — password generation, encryption keys, tokens
Statistics — random sampling, Monte Carlo simulations
Art & Music — generative design, algorithmic composition
Lotteries & Raffles — fair random selection
