Is this a passable solution?

var numCircles = 10;

function buildRGB(){
    return Math.floor(Math.random() * 256);
}
function getRGB() {
    return "rgb(" + buildRGB() + "," + buildRGB() + "," + buildRGB() + ");";
}
for (var x = 0; x < numCircles; x++){
    var html = "<div style='background-color:" + getRGB() + "'></div>";
    document.write(html);
}

Would this be a viable solution?

Did you try it? Did it return the same output as Dave's did?

If the output is the same as Dave's output, you should be good to go :)

Good luck! ~alex

I think that he may be using an external code editor, and he could have a problem with the styling sheet. He shouldn't get the expected result unless he has the same styling effect of the project.

Good Luck

I meant by the same functionality. :)

Mine was very close, but I got a chance to make a few improvements. Thank you, David!

var html = '';

function tom() {
  return Math.floor(Math.random() * 256 );
//  var mot = Math.floor(Math.random() * 256 );
//  return mot;
}

function getColor() {
  return `rgb( ${tom()}, ${tom()}, ${tom()})`; 
}

for (var i = 0; i < 3; i++ ) {
  html += `<div style="background-color: ${ getColor() } "></div>`;
}

document.write(html);
