About the Random Number Generator

This random number generator produces random numbers within a user-defined range using JavaScript's cryptographic-quality random number generator. You can control the number of values generated and whether duplicates are allowed. Statistics including sum, average, minimum, and maximum are displayed.

How Random Numbers Are Generated

The generator uses the Math.random() function which produces a floating-point number between 0 (inclusive) and 1 (exclusive). This value is scaled and shifted to fit within the specified range. When duplicates are disabled, the generator ensures all output values are unique.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the random numbers truly random?

Math.random() uses a pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) which is suitable for most applications including games, simulations, and sampling. For cryptographic applications, use crypto.getRandomValues() instead. This calculator uses Math.random() which is fast and sufficient for general use.

What happens if I ask for more unique numbers than available?

If you request unique numbers from a range that is too small (e.g., 10 unique numbers between 1 and 5), the generator will return as many unique numbers as possible and then fill the remainder with duplicates.
