They are no errors but I'm get results that are outside the two numbers selected. I suspect I may have done the Math.random equation wrong but I don't see how. Please help.

alert(Math.floor(Math.random() * (num1 - num2 + 1)) + num2);
// and
alert(Math.floor(Math.random() * (num2 - num1 + 1)) + num1);
