Please critique and let me know if this is right thanks. Here is my code.
var userNum = prompt ('type number');
var randomNum= parseInt(Math.random() * userNum);
alert('This is your number ' + randomNum + userNum);

Courses Plus Student 10,564 Pointshello Daniel Zaragoza, the challenge states : "See if you can build a program that collects a number from a user, then prints out a random number from 1 to the number the user selects."
I have copied your code in to a workspace and tested it in the browser and it seems as if your code is including the 'userNum' value within the random number instead of using it to create a random number. The random number is being generated and concatenated with the value which the user inputs in to the prompt and it is indeed lower than this value...so you are nearly there.
You want to try and use the Math.floor function to pass a lower number than the one that the user inputs:
var userNum = prompt ('type number');
alert('This is your number ' + Math.floor(Math.random() * parseInt(userNum)));
Hopefully you will see this post before you watch Dave's solution video and this will help with your challenge.

I'm gald to know that at least i was on the right path, by the way, I haven't watch Dave's solution yet because i want to make sure i'm always pushing myself to the limit until i have no more answer in me that im left with no choice but to look at the solution. Once again thank you.
