Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 3,194 PointsMy code seemed too simple compared to the solution. Am I thinking about this wrong?
Hey, guys. Can you please take a look and see if what I wrote is going to cause some issues? It seemed simple but after reviewing the Solution I feel like my code is over simplified?
var lownumber = prompt('Enter a low number!');
var highnumber = prompt('Enter a high number!');
var randNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * (highnumber - lownumber +1));
var message = (Math.floor(randNumber));
document.write('A number between ' + lownumber + ' and ' + highnumber + ' is ' + message + '!!!');

And you don't need to perform the "floor" operation a second time.
Fix those, and you'll essentially have the classic solution.
