I added a couple of lines of extra code, so I could see parsing in action. Like other solutions posted here, I haven't watched the answer video, yet.
//Ask for user input and assign into a variable
var givenNumber = prompt("Please type in a whole number between 1 and 100.");
//Optional line: test for parse, numeric string expected
console.log(givenNumber + 1);
//parsing variable and assigning it to the same variable
givenNumber = parseInt(givenNumber);
//Optional line: test for parse, number expected
console.log(givenNumber + 1);
//Raw random number multiplied by "givenNumber" will provide a determined range.
//Math.floor will ensure a whole number
//+1 in formula will ensure that zero is not an answer
var randomNumber = (Math.floor( Math.random () * givenNumber) + 1);
//Next two lines catenates and assigns to the variable "sentence"
var sentence = "Your number was " + givenNumber;
sentence += " and the random number was " + randomNumber + ".";
//displays result to user
alert(sentence);
