The way you've defined the function, the lower number is supposed to come first, then the upper. So you should be writing console.log(getNumber(9, 23));

It seems to work great once you put the parameters in the right order. What makes you think it's not?

This is annoying. It only shows one result

function getNumber (lower, upper) { return Math.floor(Math.random () * (upper - lower + 1 )) + lower; }

document.write(getNumber(9,23)); document.write(getNumber(5,42)); document.write(getNumber(1,2421)); document.write(getNumber(25, 5));
