HELP!!-- THE REFACTOR CHALLENGE PT 2--

This is my code, I have checked it over and over again, can someone tell me why its not working!?

var html = ''; var rgbColor;

function randomRGB() { Math.floor(Math.random() * 256 ); }

function randomColor() { var color = 'rgb('; color += randomRGB() + ','; color += randomRGB() + ','; color += randomRGB() + ')'; return color; }

function print(message) { document.write(message); }

for (var i = 1; i < 100; i += 1) { rgbColor = randomColor(); html += '<div style="background-color:' + rgbColor + '"></div>'; } print(html);

You aren't returning anything from your randomRGB method :)

function randomRGB() {
    // You want to return this randomly generated colour
    Math.floor(Math.random() * 256);
}
