5,542 PointsGetting an error
I've writte the exact same code in VSC as Guil:
const getRandomNumber = () => {
const randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * 6) + 1;
return randomNumber;
};
and i'm getting "Uncaught ReferenceError: getRandomNumber is not defined at <anonymous>:1:1" in the console.
But when i give it an argument, it works fine.

4,234 PointsI was having the same problem and getting an error, "SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list" eventually i figured out that i needed to put the unit in quotes when i was calling the function in the console.
getArea(3, 2, sq ft); SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list debugger eval code:1:17 getArea(3, 2, "sq ft"); "6 sq ft"

11,105 PointsThe code is spot on. Do you have the correct .js file linked to your index.html file?
