How can I get a random integer?

Answer 1

if you want integer numbers from 0 to 10, both inclusive:

var num = int(random(0, 11));
console.log(num);

explanation:

random(0,11) returns numbers from 0 to 10.999999999... but never 11

int() convert those decimal numbers to integer

int( random(0,11) ) returns numbers between 0 and 10, both inclusives.
