*Function should produce six completely different
random numbers between 1 and 49

Answer 1

What did you do so far? Where did you have trouble?

Answer 2

What language?

Answer 3

There tend to be two types of random number generators that I have come across.

The first is a random integer from 1 to the largest integer available.
The second is a random float or double from 0 to less than 1.

In both cases, if you want a random integer between `min` and `max`, you need to know the `range`.
Suppose you have \(min\leq x \leq max\).
We subtract \(min\) from both sides: \(0\leq x-min \leq max-min\).
Then to change the \(\leq\) to a \(\lt\) we must add \(1\). \(0\leq x-min \lt max-min+1\)
Ultimately \(0\leq x-min\lt range\) and so `range = max - min + 1`.

For the 1 to max integer kind, we would use `(random % range) + min`
For the 0 to 1 kind, we would use `floor(random * range) + min`
