Hey Arun,

Input you receive from the user is always a String, so you'll want to store that input into a new variable when casting it into an integer.

Seeing as this is the Random Challenge, your final mark-up should look similar to this:

var inputOne = prompt('Please type your first integer');
var bottomNumber = parseInt(inputOne);
var inputTwo = prompt('Please enter your second integer');
var topNumber = parseInt(inputTwo);
var diceRoll = Math.floor(Math.random() * (topNumber - bottomNumber + 1)) + bottomNumber;
var message = "<p>" + diceRoll + " is a number between " + bottomNumber + " and " + topNumber + ".</p>";
document.write(message);
