I'm not getting the prompt box.

Can someone find the error in my code? Thank You!

var input1= prompt("Please type a starting number");

var bottomNumber= parseInt(input1);

var input= prompt("Please type another number"); 

var topNumber= parseInt(input);

var randomNumber= Math.floor(Math.random() * (topNumber - bottomNumber + 1))+ bottomNumber;

var message= "<p>" + randomNumber + " is a number between " + bottomNumber + and " + topNumber + ". </p>";

document.write(message);

You're missing the opening quotation mark on the word "and" in this line:

var message= "" + randomNumber + " is a number between " + bottomNumber + and " + topNumber + ". ";

I ran your code after fixing the missing " I ran it again and it worked. Remember to use the web console to check for problems in your code. It's super helpful at identifying errors.
