Generate random float numbers in range PHP

Question

I have a code that initializes a dice object by the following code:

public function initializeDiceSides($totalSides, $fair, $maxProbability = 100) {
   $maxT         


        

Answer 1

A simple approach would be to use lcg_value and multiply with the range and add the min value

function random_float ($min,$max) {
    return ($min + lcg_value()*(abs($max - $min)));
}
