Random number inside a range

Returns a random integer between min and max:

function randomBetween(min, max) {
    return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1) + min);
}

Examples:

// randomBetween(0, 10);
Math.floor(Math.random() * 11);

// randomBetween(1, 10);
Math.floor(Math.random() * 10) + 1;

// randomBetween(5, 20);
Math.floor(Math.random() * 16) + 5;

// randomBetween(-10, -2);
Math.floor(Math.random() * 9) - 10;
