Math.random() include Zero and ONE or just what is in between?

Hello!

Does Math.random() return '1' as well? or does it return and number between Zero and 0.9999? What about Zero , does it return Zero?

2) If I want a number, including the number 0 and 10, would Math.random() * 10 return: the following numbers too: 0, 9.999, 10 ?

See the below which has all you need.

MDN's explanation

The Math.random() function returns a floating-point, pseudo-random number in the range [0, 1) that is, from 0 (inclusive) up to but not including 1 (exclusive), which you can then scale to your desired range.
