# --description--
|
|
|
|
Random numbers are useful for creating random behavior.
|
|
|
|
JavaScript has a `Math.random()` function that generates a random decimal number between `0` (inclusive) and `1` (exclusive). Thus `Math.random()` can return a `0` but never return a `1`.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** Like <a href="/learn/javascript-algorithms-and-data-structures/basic-javascript/storing-values-with-the-assignment-operator" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Storing Values with the Assignment Operator</a>, all function calls will be resolved before the `return` executes, so we can `return` the value of the `Math.random()` function.
|
|
|
|
# --instructions--
|
|
|
|
Change `randomFraction` to return a random number instead of returning `0`.
|
|
|
|
# --hints--
|
|
|
|
`randomFraction` should return a random number.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(typeof randomFraction() === 'number');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The number returned by `randomFraction` should be a decimal.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert((randomFraction() + '').match(/\./g));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should be using `Math.random` to generate the random decimal number.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(__helpers.removeJSComments(code).match(/Math\.random/g).length >= 0);
|
|
```
