console just gives out Errors

I write this snippet:

function getRandomNumber( upper ) { var randomNumber = Math.floor( Math.random() * upper ) + 1; return randomNumber; }

console.log( getRandomNumber(6) ); console.log( getRandomNumber(100) ); console.log( getRandomNumber(10000) ); console.log( getRandomNumber(2) );

then, when I want to see the random numbers ... all that the console tells me is either nothing or a bunch of errors ... I uninstalled all my extensions ... but I just don`t get it to work? Can someone tell me, what is going wrong here? thank you very much, regards, Jan.

I wrote this and it worked without any errors:

function getRandomNumber(upper){
    var randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * upper) + 1;
    return randomNumber;
}
