Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 1,002 PointsRandom number challenge : I don't see any error from the console log but am I correct with solution like this?
// Collect input from a user const myLowNumber = prompt('Please enter your lowest number.'); const myHighNumber = prompt('Please enter your highest number.');
// Convert the input to a number const LowestNumber = parseInt(myLowNumber); const HighestNumber = parseInt(myHighNumber)
if (HighestNumber && LowestNumber) {
// Use Math.random() and the user's number to generate a random number
const randomNumber = Math.floor( Math.random() * (HighestNumber - LowestNumber + 1) + LowestNumber);
// Create a message displaying the random number
let myMessage = document.querySelector('main').innerHTML = <h2>${randomNumber} is a random number between ${LowestNumber} to ${HighestNumber}.</h2>;
} else { alert('Please enter a number. Try again!'); }

- a logic "&&" alone is not a good test for number validity (try generating a random number from 0 to 9!)
- the creation of the "myMessage" variable is not needed
And when posting code, use the instructions for code formatting in the Markdown Cheatsheet pop-up below the "Add an Answer" area.
