Javascript Math object essentials

Javascript Math object is used to perform tasks like generating random numbers and evaluating constants like Pi.

(function() {
    console.log('Value of Pi: ' + Math.PI);
    console.log('Random number 0-6: ' + Math.floor(Math.random() * 6));
    console.log('Random number 1-6: ' + Math.ceil(Math.random() * 6));
})();

Here too I am using Nodejs and closures.

Note that floor is used to generate random numbers starting from 0; where as ceil is used to generate random numbers starting from 1.
