Hello everyone! Can someone check my code and tell me what is wrong?
function getRandomNumber( lower, upper ) { if (isNaN(lower)==true || isNaN(upper)==true){ alert(Error('Sorry! You have not entered a number.')); } else { return Math.floor(Math.random() * (upper - lower + 1)) + lower; } } document.write(<p> getRandomNumber('nine', 24) </p>); document.write( <p>getRandomNumber( 1, 100 )</p> ); document.write( <p>getRandomNumber( 200, 'five hundred'</p> ) ); document.write( <p>getRandomNumber( 1000, 20000 ) </p>); document.write( <p>getRandomNumber( 50, 100 )</p> );

But even as-is, it looks like there is HTML mixed in with the JavaScript, which would cause syntax errors. Remove the HTML tags and the code will probably be OK.

4,107 PointsSteven Parker I will take Markdown formatting into consideration for the next time. Thanks for the link! And regarding my code, I have seen on tutorials here at TreeHouse, where teachers themselves use HTML tags in Javascript. I thought it is possible.

229,644 PointsTake another look at those examples, you'll find that any HTML tags are part of strings being used to create page content, and not just in the code by themselves.
