var userNumber = prompt('Give me a number, any number'); var userNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * userNumber) + 1; parseInt = userNumber; document.write('Your random number is ' + userNumber);
It seems a bit crude compared to Dave's code but it worked and I felt good about it. I didn't use 'input' as a variable though and I feel like I missed something out. Does this matter?

Since there is no reference to Dave's code in this question, I am unsure if you missed something, however there are many different ways to solve a problem, and every programmer has their own style, so if you code worked fine with no errors then there is nothing to worry about.
