Would this answer work?

Hi, I am doing the JavaScript JavaScript Basics Creating Reusable Code with Functions Random Number Challenge, Part II would this solution also be correct? ( I am not checking if the arguments are number I know)

thanks a lot :)

function calculus (lowerNumber, higherNumber){ var result = Math.floor(Math.random() * (higherNumber)) + 1;

if (result > lowerNumber){ alert("the number is" + result); } else { var minresult = result + lowerNumber; alert("the number is" + minresult); } } console.log(calculus(100 , 200));

This code will produce numbers outside the range.

Try calling it with a narrow range of larger numbers, like: calculus(950, 999) a few times and see. Plus even if it was modified to constrain the answers to the range, the distribution would be uneven.

And wasn't the whole point of Challenge Part II to test the arguments for validity?

If you call the function after the block of codes, I think it will work.
