JavaScript Question

In this javascript quiz, find out what happens if Math.random() function pass to if condition but random gives random value.

First, we declare a if-else condition and inside the if condition a Math.random() function is passed.

if(Math.random()){
 console.log(true);
} else {
 console.log(false);
}

And inside the if-else condition console log is passed one contain the true and other contain the false.

But Math.random() function value changed every time it is called. So, any idea what should be the output of the above statement.

Here is the full code snippet for you to solve.

if(Math.random()){
 console.log(true);
} else {
 console.log(false);
}

// output = ?

Explanation

Now, you know the answer is “true“. But why, because random function value is unsure. Let me explain.

We know that the random() function gives floating value but whose range is from 0 to less than 1.

Most of the time random give value more than 0 but it’s rare to get 0.

At last, That’s why we get an answer “true“.

Let me know in the comment section, what you think about it.

I hope you understand the concept and logic behind it.
