mt_getrandmax — Show largest possible random value

Descrierea

mt_getrandmax ( void ) : int

Returns the maximum value that can be returned by a call to mt_rand().

Valorile întoarse

Returns the maximum random value returned by a call to mt_rand() without arguments, which is the maximum value that can be used for its max parameter without the result being scaled up (and therefore less random).

Exemple

Example #1 Calculate a random floating-point number

<?php
function randomFloat($min = 0, $max = 1) {
    return $min + mt_rand() / mt_getrandmax() * ($max - $min);
}

var_dump(randomFloat());
var_dump(randomFloat(2, 20));
?>

Exemplul de mai sus va afișa ceva similar cu:

float(0.91601131712832)
float(16.511210331931)
