How may I get Print() to print a number between x and y?

print(math.random(2,1))

The above code either prints a 1, or a 2 How may I make it to print a number between x or y? Thank you!

Use math!

So in order to get a decimal between 1-2 you use math.random(), obviously. Depending on how long of a decimal you want, you'll want to change the number values by a factor of x10. So,

Step one,

Multiply the numbers you want to make into a decimal by 10, 100, 1000, ect.

100,200

Step two,

Use math.random the get a number between these values.

math.random(100,200)

Step three,

Divide by how much you multiplied, in my case 100.

math.random(100,200)/100

And to print this use print(), as you know.

print(math.random(100,200)/100)---prints a decimal in the hundredths place

Some possible outputs could be the following,

0.47

0.83

0.12

Hope that helped!

Good Luck!

While the answer above me will work just as well as the code i am showing you, this code works too.

local x = 1
local y = 2

print(tostring(math.random(x,y,0.01)))

--[[

math.random(x,y,0.01) --the 0.01 tells math.random that it can pick any number to 2 decimal places 

tostring(value) --This is good practice and useful if you needed to combine this random value with a string
