This random number generator creates random whole numbers or ‘integers’ between a minimum and maximum value. Integers are numbers with no fraction part to it meaning that it has no decimals. For example 354, 4, 0, and -61 are integers but 102.44 is not.

Random whole numbers or integers are useful in the below cases:

Although humans think that they can generate randomness, there is a tendency to select certain numbers over others. Although computers are also restricted in the way they generate numbers and in most cases at best generate ‘pseudo-random’ numbers which are still determined by factors in the deterministic machine they run on, they do a better job of creating randomness.

Unable to choose between a set of available options? This random number generator can help you out by taking the difficulty of choosing away and giving you an instant answer to your dilemma.

The result with create a set of whole numbers (integers) that follow the range rules you set previously. You can also choose what format you want your results in. Choose ‘Plain Text’ for no formatting and ‘JSON’ for a format useful in computing.
