Why getRandom(12); is incorrect?

Complete the code below to call the function and pass the value 12 to it: function getRandom( upper ) { return Math.floor(Math.random() * upper) + 1; }

//What's the answer? Isn't it getRandom(12); Treehouse says that's wrong.

If you're adding a semi-colon to your answer, remove it. There's already one provided

Frustrating when it isn't obvious that the semicolon was provided - not to my old eyes anyway. Waste time looking for alternate answers when the correct one was typed in originally. Would be useful if the program could highlight it when it is just something like this. :)
