1,891 PointsMy Solution! Not sure, if I should of used 'const' instead of 'let' in the generate a random number line
// Collect input from a user
const number = prompt('Give me any number between 1 and 6! It could be in decimals!');
// Convert the input to a number
const userNumber = parseInt(number);
// Use Math.random() and the user's number to generate a random number
let randomNumber = Math.floor( Math.random() * userNumber ) + 1;
// Create a message displaying the random number
document.querySelector('main').innerHTML = `The number is: ${randomNumber} !`;
Please review and let me know what you guys think! I think I should of used const instead of let for the randomNumber variable. Thank you!

You cannot set the propery of 'innerHTML" to null.

1,891 PointsHello Mark Casavantes! Thank you for taking the time to review my code. Could you explain why it can't be used to null? Thank you!

2,880 PointsHello Gong,
I reviewed the lesson and see that consol.log is used.
console.log(`The number is: ${randomNumber} !`);
I do not think 'main' references anything in your code. My understanding is that .innerHTML is used to change text in webpage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrSBhuuuIsg
I don't think you were wanting to change HTML text in your program. I hope this is helpful to you.

1,891 PointsHi Mark! Thank you for your response. Okay, I understand now! You are right that this would be better in console.log.
