Confused as to where I'm going wrong... all my code is displaying in the document?

var randomNumber = randomNumbers (16, 72);

function randomNumbers(a, b) {
 return Math.floor(Math.random() * (6 - 1 + 1)) + 1; 
}

document.write(randomNumbers);

Hey Josh,

randomNumbers() is a function. If you just document.write() a function, you'll just see the innards of your function spit out on the screen. What you want to do is spit out the return value of randomNumbers. You do that be calling randomNumbers, like so:

function randomNumbers(a, b) {
  return Math.floor(Math.random() * (6 - 1 + 1)) + 1; 
}

document.write(randomNumbers());
