What if both values are not a number

How would you do condition when both numbers are in string and would like to test it in console.log? As long as the conditional statement provides only one option it will always be Error with the message "Provide a lower number" only

Thank you for your anwer

function getRandomNumber(lower, upper = 100) { if(isNaN(lower)) { throw Error("Provide a lower number") }else if (isNaN(upper)){ throw Error("Provide a higher number")

}else{

return Math.floor(Math.random() * (upper - lower + 1)) + lower;

} }

console.log( getRandomNumber("five", "six") );
