MongoDB $rand

In MongoDB, the $rand aggregation pipeline operator returns a random float between 0 and 1.

The floating point value has up to 17 digits after the decimal point. Any trailing zeros are dropped, so the number of digits may vary.

The $rand operator was introduced in MongoDB 4.4.2.

MongoDB $ifNull

In MongoDB, $ifNull is an aggregation pipeline operator that allows you to specify a value to use in place of null.
