How can you generate a new random number every given second using Math.random()? I have tried putting it in a function and return Math.random but it return the same thing every time. Is there an efficient way to do this in short amount of code?
-thanks

 setInterval(function(){   

    console.log(Math.floor((Math.random()*100)+1)); 



 }, 1000);

I ran it in Firefox and it works great.

I will follow TryHunter and edit that the *100 makes it return 1 to 100, and if you want to say 1 to 1000 change it to 1000.
