Just out of curiosity, can Math.random() ever be zero?
For example, if I were to have:
while (true){
if (Math.random() == 0)
return 1;
}
Would I ever actually get a return of one? There's also rounding error to consider because Math.random() returns a double.
I ask because my CS professor stated that random() goes from 0 to 1 inclusive, and I always thought it was exclusive.
