math.random question

[buymysoul]

I am in a beginning javascript class. I understand this is a total newbie question and I appologize in advance.

My textbook states that Math.random will generate a random number between 0 and 1. Does this INCLUDE 0 and 1? I am getting a feeling from my results that it does.

Thank you for your time and responses,

Robin

I don't know about javascript.

There are many javascript tutorials or help sites on the web, including w3schools.com.

Java's Math.random() method will generate random numbers "greater than or equal to 0.0 and less than 1.0" (per the API documentation).

My guess is that javascript handles the random function in the same way.

According to O'Reilly "JavaScript - The Definitive Guide" Math.random() returns
A pseudo-random number between 0.0 and 1.0

Hey thanks guys, I guess the anomolie I experienced had to do with something else.

Thanks a lot for your help.
