Lodash _.random() Method

Lodash _.random() method is used to return a random number that is in the range provided to the function. If floating is true, or either lower or upper are floats, a floating-point number is returned instead of an integer.

Syntax:

_.random([lower = 0], [upper = 1], [floating]);

Parameters:

• lower: This parameter holds the lower bound.
• upper: This parameter holds the upper bound.
• floating: This parameter specifies returning a floating-point number.

Return Value:

This method returns the random number.

Example 1: In this example, we are printing the random number using the lodash _.random() method.

Javascript

// Requiring the lodash library
const _ = require("lodash");

// Use of _.random method
console.log(_.random(10));
console.log(_.random(10, 12));
console.log(_.random(10, 12));
console.log(_.random(10.3, 12.5));

Output:

3
11
10
12.000118273018167

Example 2: In this example, we are printing the random number using the lodash _.random() method.

Javascript

// Requiring the lodash library
const _ = require("lodash");

// lower and upper value
let lower = 2;
let upper = 11;

// Printing 5 random values
// in range 2 and 11
for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
    console.log(_.random(lower, upper));
}

Output:

9
5
