Hello Treehouse Mates!
I think my code is more easy to understand than Andrew. I'm sorry to say to Andrew, your codes are very hard to understand for a beginner Sir. Here is my Codes
document.getElementById("button").onclick=function(){
var placeholder=document.getElementById("placeholder");
var result=Math.floor(Math.random()*6)+1;
placeholder.innerHTML=result;
}
Hope its help others.

Sorry for the delay in returning to your answer request I have been away over Easter.
Unfortunately I have to agree with Steven in this case. There is times when learning with treehouse that you need to look at the code being used as an illustration of what they are trying to explain not a literal example of how you would implement that within a site.
I think if you were to ask the question more on the lines of "why does Andrew not just use this code?" then it would leave us open to explaining the nature of the course and why he is using OOP.
Because the course is about OOP when using JavaScript it would wrong to illustrate the code used in your way.
I hope this helps in some way Craig

You mentioned "... for a beginner ..." but this course is rated as "intermediate". Have you already completed all the beginner-rated courses?
