It works!

Note that if you're using CodePen, you don't need the script tag in the HTML... in fact, since you're outputting to the console, you don't need any of the HTML, besides maybe the heading just so the user can see something.

Also, you might want to consider logging to the console a message that indicates the two numbers that were being used as the upper and lower limits being passed to the function, before each function call. That way the user can tell that the random number is indeed between the upper and lower limits.

The easiest way to do that is to copy the function call, put it inside quotes, and log that to the console:

console.log("getRandomNumber(100,60)");
console.log(getRandomNumber(100,60) );
