console.log('Start program');
var firstNumber = prompt('Tell me the fist number'); /* add first number to a variable */
parseInt(firstNumber); /* Convert it into int number */
console.log('first number: ' + firstNumber); /* send a console information */
var secondNumber = prompt('Tell me the second number'); /* add the second number to a variable */
parseInt(secondNumber); /* Convert it into int number */
console.log('second number: ' + secondNumber); /* send a console information */
var randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * (secondNumber - firstNumber + 1)) + firstNumber; /* the random number math, adding it to a variable */
console.log('random number: ' + randomNumber); /* send a console information */
document.write(randomNumber + '!'); /* write the randomNumber on the page */
console.log('End program');

11,284 PointsI swear it is not giving the random number between firstNumber and secondNumber, it really worked fine for you? No changes?

11,284 PointsI see, I was not specific, sorry, what I want it to do is to give a random number between firstNumber and secondNumber
Mike Hatch
14,940 PointsDid you try cutting var randomNumber and pasting it in between first and second?

11,284 PointsI changed the way I was using de parseInt and it solved the problem somehow, I don't know for sure how it was affecting my code yet
