Got a random number but answer is not even close to instructors

I am at a loss. My idea of what he wanted and what I typed in is very different when I watched his video. I don't even understand his answer...

var randomNumGen = prompt('Type number here');

parseInt(randomNumGen + Math.random());

alert(randomNumGen + Math.random());

Challenge one asks you to generate random numbers from 1 to an input number of a user. For example, if you input 4 into a dialogue box, your program should generate random numbers between 1 and 4, like 1 or 2 or 3 or 4.

Challenge two asks you to generate random numbers in the range between the first input bottom number and the second input top number from a user. If you input number 3 in the dialogue box that pops up the first time for the first bottom number and 6 in the dialogue box that pops up the second time for the second top number, your program should generate random numbers between 3 and 6. The random numbers should be 3, 4, 5 and 6. Each time, it will display 3 or 4 or 5 or 6.
