var numberOne = prompt("Whatis the firs number"); var numberTwo = prompt("What is the second number"); var result = Method.floor(Method.random()* numberOne) + numberTwo; alert(result);

Use need to replace 'Method' by 'Math' as below and that should get rid of the error for you. floor() and random() are math functions.
var numberOne = prompt("Whatis the firs number");
var numberTwo = prompt("What is the second number");
var result = Math.floor(Math.random() * numberOne) + numberTwo;
alert(result);
Also you can use Google Chrome's console (Ctrl + Shift + I) on windows to debug JavaScript snippets like these
Hope that helps, all the best :)

var input = parseInt(prompt("Type a number: ")); // asks the user for a number, parses it into an int and stores it in the variable named input
var secondInput = parseInt(prompt("Type another number: ")); // asks the user for a second number, parses it into an int and stores it in a variable named secondInput
var randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * input) + secondInput; // generates a random number between the first input and the second number and rounds it down
alert("Your random lucky number is: " + randomNumber); // opens a diagonal box displaying the random number
Hope I helped :)

1,751 PointsHey, thank you for a reply. I think I didn't get the idea. Since the task is to generate a random number between variables numberOne and numberTwo;
