JavaScriptAll snippets in this category →
Posted on Add thrill, excitement, and chaos to your JavaScript with some Russian Roulette. This helper calls a function you give it with a chance of 5 in 6. In the other case, it causes an infinite loop and crashes everything.
// takes a function and either calls it or crashes absolutely everything
const russianRoulette = fn => {
// pick a random number from 0 to 5
const randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * 6)
// crash the code with an infinite loop if the random number was 5
while (randomNumber === 5) {}
// call the function and return its result if the number wasn’t 5
return fn()
}
// This logs the string with a chance of 5 in 6 (~83.3%). In the other case,
// everything crashes.
russianRoulette(() => console.log("You are lucky!"))// takes a function and either calls it or crashes absolutely everything
const russianRoulette = fn => {
// pick a random number from 0 to 5
const randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * 6)
// crash the code with an infinite loop if the random number was 5
while (randomNumber === 5) {}
// call the function and return its result if the number wasn’t 5
return fn()
}
// This logs the string with a chance of 5 in 6 (~83.3%). In the other case,
// everything crashes.
