The Math.floor() function returns the largest integer less than or equal to a given number. So for instance Math.floor(3.2) will return 3. Not to get too confusing, anything in the 3 range will return turn so Math.floor(3.9) will still return 3. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/new

Math.random returns a floating-point number between 0 and 1. It includes 0, but not 1.
