If you look closely at the error message it is saying "isNAN" does not exist as a function.This is due to a slight typo cause by capitalizing the 'A', you're second "isNaN()" is correct because the 'a' is lowercase, just change that and you are good to go!

function getRandomNumber( lower, upper ) { 
  if ( isNaN(lower) || isNaN(upper) ) { 
    throw new Error('Both arguments must be numbers'); 
  } 
  return Math.floor(Math.random() * (upper - lower + 1)) + lower;
}
