Help with the second challenge!

I cannot find the mistake in my code. I can enter in the first two values, but the message will not display.

var input1 = prompt("Please enter a starting number"); var bottomNubmer = parseInt(input1); var input2 = prompt("Please enter a number."); var topNumber = parseInt(input2); var randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * (topNumber - bottomNumber + 1)) + bottomNumber; var message = "<p>" + randomNumber + " is a number between " + bottomNumber + " and " + topNumber + ".</p>"; document.write(message);

Your variable is misspelled. You have it written as bottomNubmer. You can check the console of your browser and it should tell you something like "bottomNumber is not defined".

var input1 = prompt("Please enter a starting number"); var *** bottomNubmer *** = parseInt(input1); var input2 ...

I've highlighted where the mistake is incase you couldn't find it.
