I tried to call my function in random.js and i didnt get the result i expected.
do i call getRandomNumber or getRandomNumber() ? If the later would i call alert(getRandomNumber()); ?
If so is getRandomNumber() the complete code to call including the parentheses?

Thanks for any help..

Hi,

to invoke a function you should call it with parentheses()

to reference a function you should call it without parentheses

alert(getRandomNumber())
