You can also use this code: function randomNumberBetween(a, b) { var minNum = a; var maxNum = b; var output = 0; output = Math.random(); output = output * (maxNum - minNum); output = output + minNum; output = Math.round(output); return output; }

no sorry I meant Math.floor(Math.random(1) * 10); but random does take a parameter. the minimum number.

yes. you want to use. Math.floor(Math.random(10) * 1). will give random whole number between 1 and 10.

But the random() function doesn't take a parameter. So i think you mean Math.floor(Math.random()*10). @Mark
