So the basic answer is that you use which one gets the result you expect.
Javascript math floor vs round.
Math floor rounds the number generated by math random down to the last integer meaning that it would always just round down to 0.
Wouldn t math round be a better choice for the youhit variable since it would round to 0 if 5 and up to 1 if 5 causing a random pattern of 1 s and 0 s.
In essence it is floor number number modulus 1.
If the passed argument is an integer the value will not be rounded.
