What is the Random Number Challenge?

Dave mentions "the last video" to reference the Random Challenge, but the last video was on scope. The last time I saw a challenge was to create a random number guessing game in the coditionals. Normally he lists exactly what needs to happen for the challenge but this time he does not.

So what video should I look to for the right Random Number Challenge. I need this for reference to start working on this.

Here is what I did, but have no idea if it is overkill or what.

function randomNumber (input1, input2) {
  var result1 = Math.floor( Math.random() * (input1 - input2 +1)) + 1;
  return result1;
}

var numOne = parseInt(prompt("Please enter your first number here"));
console.log(numOne);
var numTwo = parseInt(prompt("Please enter your second number here"));
console.log(numTwo);
randomNumber(numOne, numTwo);

document.write(randomNumber(numOne, numTwo));

:point_right: By "the last video" he probably means Giving Information to Functions.

Your solution is close, but not quite right. Perhaps you didn't start with the formula in the random.js file in the workspace or project files? This and other specifics are discussed by Dave in the video: Random Number Challenge Solution.
