randomNumber1 vs number1 variables in JavaScript

The Math.random() method in JavaScript is used to generate random numbers. It returns a floating-point, pseudo-random number between 0 (inclusive) and 1 (exclusive).

To generate a random integer within a range, you can use:

function getRandomInt(min, max) {
  min = Math.ceil(min);
  max = Math.floor(max);
  return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min)) + min; 
}

This will return an integer between min (inclusive) and max (exclusive).

To generate a random integer within a range that is inclusive of both min and max, use:

function getRandomIntInclusive(min, max) {
  min = Math.ceil(min);
  max = Math.floor(max); 
  return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min;
}

So in your code, randomNumber1 and number1 are two different variables:

• randomNumber1 will store a random number generated using Math.random()

• number1 will store a number that you define and assign

For example:

let randomNumber1 = getRandomInt(1, 10); 
// Stores a random number from 1 to 9

let number1 = 5;  
// Stores the number 5

randomNumber1 and number1 will likely store different values. The key difference is that randomNumber1 stores a random number, while number1 stores a specific number you assign.
