Getting unexpected syntax error at my last line.

Does anyone know why my code does not run?

// Collect input from a user

let high = prompt(enter a high number);

let low = prompt(enter a lower number);

// Convert the input to a number

high = parseInt(high);

low = parseInt(low);

if (low && high{

// Use Math.random() and the user's number to generate a random number

const randomNumber= Math.floor(Math.random() * (high - low + 1)) + low;

// Create a message displaying the random number

console.log(An random number between ${high} and ${low} is ${randomNumber});

}else {

console.log(`Your input is not a number.Try again.);

}

let high = prompt("enter a high number"); //<-- quotes

let low = prompt("enter a lower number"); //<-- quotes

high = parseInt(high);

low = parseInt(low);

if (low && high) { //<-- missing parentheses
const randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * (high - low + 1)) + low;

  console.log(`An random number between ${high} and ${low} is ${randomNumber}`); //<-- template strings
} else {
  console.log("Your input is not a number.Try again."); //<--- quotes
}
