The numbers in the green boxes are representing the "alert" that the function calls to display the random number that it generated. As Jacob says, it's just a visual aid for the class to help you see what the function does.

15,610 PointsThank you for your reply. However, I still do not understand the meaning of the numbers in the green boxes. I understand everything explained in the video, but not the significance of the numbers 2-5-4-1.
