What's wrong with my code?

There is no error but my code isn't working.

function getRandom ( upper, lower ) {
return Math.floor(Math.random() * (upper - lower + 1)) + lower; 
  }
console.log( getRandom(30,40) );
console.log ( getRandom(100,300) );

Your code didn't work for me in Safari 11.1.2 with javascript enabled in Safari Preferences. Nor did my own code. Alerts work fine, but not console.log. Had same problem with Chrome. Sorry, I have no answer as to why.
