Please can you check why my code doesn't run.

My code runs fine from line 1 - 4. The prompts appear. However when I add the rest of the code (from line 5 onwards), nothing runs. I cannot see where I have made an error. Screenshot attached. https://w.trhou.se/f3uovufzve Many thanks in advance. Elissa.

Hey Elissa,

Kristian Terziev is right. You have a typo on Line 6. And you changed it in that new workspace... but it's still wrong, i.e. it now has a different typo. This is how it should look:

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

Hello Elissa,

You forgot one + on line 6. Hava a look after the bottomNumber variable.

HI Kristian,

Thanks so much, but I corrected that and it doesn't make a difference. i wouldn't think that an error in the message string would stop the code from running in any case? https://w.trhou.se/2rpeyvj5ei
