randomInt()
randomInt() returns a random integer between two specified numbers. This has only a static method function.
Syntax
static method function
BigArith.randomInt(min, max);
Parameters
static method function
min - Required - {string|number|BigArith}
The minimum number that can be returned (inclusive). This could be a string of digits, a number, or a BigArith object.
max - Required - {string|number|BigArith}
The maximum number that can be returned (exclusive). This could be a string of digits, a number, or a BigArith object.
Return value
static method function - {BigArith}
A BigArith object with value equals to any number between min (inclusive) and max (exclusive).
Description
There is no method function for randomInt() so it should ALWAYS be used as a static member function.
If the parameters are not integers, min is floored and max is ceiled.
If the min parameter is higher than the max parameter, the returned integer will be between the max(inclusive) and min(exclusive).
If any of the parameters evaluate to NaN, NaN will be returned.
Examples
In the server-side, always remember to add the line
var BigArith = require('bigarith.js');however every other thing remains the same in both server-side and client-side code.
Using method function
BigArith.randomInt("8888888888888888888888888888","9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999"); //any number between "8888888888888888888888888888" (inclusive) and "9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999" (exclusive)
BigArith.randomInt("1000", "1000"); //will always return 1000
BigArith.randomInt("5", "1"); //any number between 1(inclusive) and 5(exclusive)
BigArith.randomInt("1.9","2.1") //any number between 1(inclusive) and 3(exclusive)
BigArith.randomInt("2", NaN) //NaN
BigArith.randomInt(NaN, "99") //NaN
