Simple Solution

const difference = (low, high) => { return Math.floor(Math.random() * (high - low) + 1) + lower; }

const lowNum = prompt("Please enter a low number"); const highNum = prompt("Please enter a high number");

const userNum = difference(parseInt(lowNum), parseInt(highNum)); alert(${userNum} is between ${lowNum} and ${highNum});

Hi Bodie Wood, what is lower in this line -> (high - low) + 1) + lower; and the last statement is missing back-tick -> alert(${userNum} is between ${lowNum} and ${highNum});

I am not sure what is the question but working with what you have,

const difference = (low, high) => { return Math.floor(Math.random() * (high - low) + 1) + low; }
const lowNum = prompt("Please enter a low number"); 
const highNum = prompt("Please enter a high number");
const userNum = difference(parseInt(lowNum), parseInt(highNum));
alert(`${userNum} is between ${lowNum} and ${highNum}`);

Hope it help!
