adding as if a string and not an equation

so this is my code, and I'm getting both answers ok, but in var realNumber I'm getting the userNumber1 and usernumber two smooshed together and not a number between the two. Why did I make the computer Gods angry?

var userNumber1 = prompt("What is the low number?");

var userNumber2 = prompt("What is the high number");

parseInt(userNumber1);

parseInt(userNumber2);

var realNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * (userNumber2 - userNumber1)) + userNumber1 ;

var message = "<p>" + " You rolled a " + realNumber + "</p>";

document.write(message);

Hi!

You forgot to assign the parseInt back into a variable. 

var userNumber1 = parseInt(userNumber1);

Hope this helps!
