Picking a random item from array with equal distribution
I want to pick a random item from an array at random. Is the way to go, but as far as I know this will cause a Uniform distribution to occur which means that the average is (lowbound+upperbound)/2 translated to an array with 10 elements the lower bound is the first element and the upper bound is the last elem…

Can I achieve weighted randomness with a function that returns weighted booleans?
I have a method that mimics an unfair coin. You can pass in a percentage, and it tells you whether or not you succeeded by returning a boolean. So if you call it with .25, it’ll return true 25% of the time. I’m trying to figure out if I can use this function to create a weighted randomness functio…
JS generate random boolean
Simple question, but I’m interested in the nuances here. I’m generating random booleans using the following method I came up with myself: Whenever random() shows up, it seems there’s always a pitfall – it’s not truly random, it’s compromised by something or other, etc. So, …

What I want to know is if you can generate a better random number in a range using crypto.getRandomValues() instead of Math.random(). I would like to be able to generate a number bet…
Custom linear congruential generator in JavaScript
I am trying to create a custom linear congruential generator (LCQ) in JavaScript (the one used in glibc). Its properties as it’s stated on Wikipedia are: m=2^31 , a=1103515245 , c=12345. Now I am getting next seed value with Although the generator seems to work, but when the numbers are tested on canvas…
