So im on the challenge and i was wondering if i was on the right track for this challenge

This is my code that i got, not really sure if i totally understood the challenge so i tried to solve it from what I've learned so far.

var rng = Math.random();
var user1 = prompt('Pick a number ');

var userNum = parseInt(user1);

var print = alert(rng + userNum);

Here Is what he is looking for, Good luck with the track, Full stack Javascript is my favorite! var input = prompt('Please type a number'); var topNumber = parseInt(input); var randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * topNumber) + 1; var message = "<p>" + randomNumber + " is a number between 1 and " + topNumber + ".</p>"; document.write(message);
