//random number 1
var userNumOne = prompt("Please type a random number");// user data entry 1 console.log(userNumOne);// code test var userRandomNum = Math.floor(Math.random() * parseInt(userNumOne) + 1);// random number creation console.log(userRandomNum);// code test
//random number 2
var userNumTwo = prompt("Please type another random number");// user data entry 2 var doubleTrouble = Math.floor(Math.random() * (parseInt(userNumTwo) + userRandomNum) + 1); console.log(userNumTwo); console.log(doubleTrouble); alert("Here is your random number x2... " + doubleTrouble + ".");

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 17,643 PointsI think you're misunderstanding the question. The ultimate goal of the program is to allow the user to input two values and then have the browser generate a random number between those two values. Here was my answer:
var num1;
var num2;
var rand;
var limit;
num1 = parseInt(prompt("Please Enter your first number: "));
num2 = parseInt(prompt("Please Enter your second number: "));
limit = (num2 - num1)/2;
rand = Math.abs(Math.round(Math.random() * (num2 - num1)) + num1);
alert("Your random number between " + num1 + " and " + num2 + " is " + rand + "!");
