Generate an n-digit random number using JavaScript

Today we’ll show you how to generate an n-digit random number using JavaScript. We have multiple ways to get n-digit random numbers but we’ll cover a few of them for demo purposes.

We have already written an article to Convert a String to a Number in JavaScript.

Let’s check out the below examples.

Way to generate an n-digit random number

1. Generate 6 digit random number
2. Generate n-digit random number

1. Generate 6 digit random number

Use the following code to generate a 6 digit random number.

function getSixDigitRandom() {
  return Math.random().toString().substring(2, 8);
}
getSixDigitRandom(); // Output: 407578

Here we have used the `Math.random()` method to generate the random number and then after substring it for six digit output.

2. Generate n-digit random number

To generate n-digit random numbers, check out the code below.

function getRandomNumber(digit) {
  return Math.random().toFixed(digit).split('.')[1];
}
getRandomNumber(16); // Output: 7170981998871888

In the above code, we have used the same `Math.random()` method to generate the random number then used the `toFixed()` method for number generation and split it for actual output.

That’s it for today.
