Courses Plus Student 4,043 PointsComment on Random Number Challenge
The challenge did not ask to have a user-entered starting number, nor did it ask that the result be written to the page, but the solution seemed to assume that this was expected.
I just wanted to make you aware.

Courses Plus Student 4,043 PointsThanks, Aman... you are correct - I missed that instruction at the end!
I had reviewed the challenge prior to working on it, and only listened to the initial portion of the video, so I was only getting where he specifically states "Collect a number from a user and print a random number from 1 to the user's provided number." (:12 to :16)
For what it is worth, this is a good lesson in identifying project requirements and listening closely to the project owner. I give myself a "bummer" for missing this one!
