Make sure your return statement is inside the function

function getYear() {
  var year = new Date().getFullYear();
  return year;
}

function randomNumber(num1, num2) { if (isNaN(num1) || isNaN(num2)) { throw new Error("Error message"); } return Math.floor(Math.random() * (num2 - num1 + 1)) + num1; } alert(randomNumber("one", 8)); alert(randomNumber(1, 15)); alert(randomNumber(15, "twentyFive")); alert(randomNumber(30, 40));

What is wrong with this code?
