2,447 PointsIs my code correct / Math.floor() versus parseInt() for Random Number Challenge
Hello -
Instead of using Math.floor() like the instructor, I used parseInt(). I know that they are different, but in this challenge, could I use either one of them?
Also, my code is shorter than the instructor's code. I've run it a couple of times and it seems to work. Am I doing it right ( even though I used pareseInt instead of Math.floor)?
var firstNumber = prompt("Give me a number.");
var secondNumber = prompt("Give me a second number.");
var randomNumberGenerator = parseInt(Math.random() * (secondNumber - firstNumber + 1) + firstNumber);
var sentence= randomNumberGenerator + " is a number between " + firstNumber + " and " + secondNumber + ".";
document.write(sentence);

Treehouse TeacherYes, it does work... for certain input. But it implements bugs for others. So your shorter code would, in fact, not be shorter if you had to include code to check the input.
I encourage you to try it and see what happens when you try to roll a number between -10 and 0
