It works but is it correct?

// Use Math.random() and the user's number to generate a random number const randomNumber = Math.round( Math.random() * highInput ) + lowInput;

I changed math.floor to math.round and also +1 to +lowinput (meaning the lowest is not 1 but the lowest number). I tested it and the answers seem to be correct. In my mind this was more logical and the code shorter. Any ideas?

Good Morning Berit,

I believe you are correct.

let highInput = 100;
let lowInput = 0;
let num = Math.random();

for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
  let randomNumber = Math.round(num * highInput + lowInput);

  let newRandomNumber = Math.floor(num * highInput) + lowInput + 1;

  console.log(newRandomNumber - randomNumber);
}
