function Dice (sides) {
this.sides = sides;
this.roll = function (){
var randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * this.sides) + 1;
return randomNumber;
};
}
var dice = new Dice(6);
this logs out the "this.roll" function itself and not the returned value. What's wrong?

dice.roll();

dice.roll();

so i pasted your code into the developer console and called roll a couple times. The 1 and 5 are what was returned. You are including the () when you dice.roll() ?

Courses Plus Student 5,382 PointsThe problem appears to be with the Treehouse workspace. (https://teamtreehouse.com/workspaces/17321142) I see now that locally, it works.
