Courses Plus Student 6,766 PointsThe Random Challenge - I found this too difficult =(
I got as far as this:
var userNumber = prompt('Type in any number to start!'); document.write(userNumber);
Got totally confused about the random integer and gave up.
I don't feel like I understand the processes well enough to do something like this.
Total fail =(

3,351 PointsWell you started Ok! you have your variable working but remember that 'prompt' will return a string. So you need to convert it to a number by using the parseInt method and it would be something like this:
var userNumberConverted=parseInt(userNumber);
then we need to use the Math.random(); method to create a random number and so as to be an intenger (because it gives you a 0.xxx number)we need to convert it using the Math.floor(); method
the random generator code would look like this. Math.floor(Math.random()* userNumberConverted + 1);
Hope this was useful for you!
