Examples

var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var roundn = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-roundn' );
var MONTHS_IN_YEAR = require( '@stdlib/constants-time-months-in-year' );

var mons;
var yrs;
var i;

function yrs2mons( yrs ) {
    return yrs * MONTHS_IN_YEAR;
}

for ( i = 0; i < 10; i++ ) {
    yrs = roundn( randu()*20.0, -2 );
    mons = yrs2mons( yrs );
    console.log( '%d years => %d months', yrs, mons );
}
