Installation

$ npm i best-library

In Node.js:

const bl = require('best-library');

bl.randomNum([min = 0], max)

The function returns a random number in the range from the first argument to the second argument

Arguments

1. [min = 0] (number): The lower bound of an interval
2. max (number): The upper bound of an interval 

Returns

(number): Returns a random number

Examples

const number = bl.randNum(0, 10);
console.log(number); // 7

const number = bl.randNumb(10);
console.log(number); // 5

bl.randomArray(size, min, max, [unique = false])

The function returns an array of random numbers

Arguments

1. size (number): The Size of an array
2. min (number): The lower bound
3. max (number): The upper bound
4. unique = false (boolean): If the variable === true, the function will return an array of unique numbers

Returns

(array): Returns an array of random numbers

Examples

const array = bl.randArr(10, 0, 15, false);
console.log(array); // (10) [7, 0, 9, 9, 3, 10, 4, 3, 6, 6]

const array = bl.randArr(10, 0, 15, true);

Returns

The function returns nothing

Examples

const array1 = [4, 5, 0, 1, 7];
const array2 = [9, 4, 8, 1, 2];
bl.operArr(array1, array2, '*');
console.log(array1); // (5) [36, 20, 0, 1, 14]

bl.lastElem(array)

Arguments

1. array (array): The array to find last element
 

Returns

(all types): Returns last array element
