6,082 PointsUgh, I've tried to figure this out, and I'm not sure what this challenge exactly wants me to do....so frustrating...
//This initiates the program, prompting a message to the user.
console.log("Begin program");
alert("Welcome, welcome! Are you lucky enough?");
//This prompts the user with questions indicating they should fill in numbers and await their random number response.
var questionOne = prompt("Please enter your first number below.");
var integerOne = parseInt(questionOne);
var questionTwo = prompt("Please enter your second number below.");
var integerTwo = parseInt(questionTwo);
/*This is where I've expanded the original number generator, and allowed it to give the user a random number between designated numbers I've put in the 'document.write'.
I've also made sure that only the values are numbers, and will spit out an error message if it isn't.*/
function findErrors(two, nine) {
if (isNaN(nine) === true || true === isNaN(one))
{throw new Error('Wrong! Make sure it\'s a number.');}
else
}
function random(integerTwo, integerOne)
{if (integerOne > integerTwo)
{return (Math.floor(Math.random() * (integerTwo - integerOne + 1)) + integerOne);
document.write(random);}
else if (integerOne < integerTwo)
{return (Math.floor(Math.random() * (integerOne - integerTwo + 1)) + integerTwo);
document.write(random);}
else
{alert("Nope, sorry. Try again.");}}
document.write("<p>Here's your first lucky number:</p>");
document.write(random(10, 2));
document.write("<p>Here's your second lucky number:</p>");
document.write(random(100, 20));
document.write("<p>Here's your third lucky number:</p>");
document.write(random('nine hundred', 'two hundred'));
document.write("<p>Play again?</p>");
//This is the end of program.
console.log("End program");

But for starters, here's a few observations I made with your code:
- when testing, you don't need to check values against "true", just naming the value does that
- giving variables number names is not illegal, but it can be very confusing
- in your findErrors function, be sure that you are working with the same variables that are passed in
- you have to call your findErrors function at some point (like inside "random") for it to work
- you don't need an else if you don't do anything different when the test does not pass

6,082 PointsThis challenge is a bit confusing to understand (I attempted to it in "function findErrors"). I don't know....I would appreciate a little help in the right direction?
