-2

Is there any way I can generate a random number from 1 to 4 based on the current month.

So in a month it will return the same value, a different value the next month and a different one the coming month and so on?

  • You are probably looking for seeding. It is explained here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/424292/seedable-javascript-random-number-generator – Ngob Feb 06 '18 at 11:24

function random(seed) {
    var x = Math.sin(seed++) * 10000;
    return x - Math.floor(x);
}
var d = new Date();
rand = random(d.getMonth());
console.log(rand*4);

if you want integers

console.log(Math.floor(rand*4));
