javascript - Randomize numbers with jQuery?

Question

Is there a simple jQuery way to create numbers randomly showing then a number 1 -6 is choosing after a few seconds? [Like dice]

Answer 1

This doesn't require jQuery. The JavaScript Math.random function returns a random number between 0 and 1, so if you want a number between 1 and 6, you can do:

var number = 1 + Math.floor(Math.random() * 6);

Update: (as per comment) If you want to display a random number that changes every so often, you can use setInterval to create a timer:

setInterval(function() {
  var number = 1 + Math.floor(Math.random() * 6);
  $('#my_div').text(number);
},
1000); // every 1 second
