Strange error on console

https://w.trhou.se/3rh5fbkixy

I don't get it why it says that need to put other "{" and I noticed that both "{" from the function like don't "recognize" each other, and I think that might be the problem

The issue is that you are missing a closing parenthesis ) for your if statement:

if(isNaN(lower) || isNaN(upper)) { // You were missing a ) on this line
    return("There's an error, one of this is not a number");
} else {
    return Math.floor(Math.random() * (upper - lower + 1)) + lower; 
}

The reason why you need two closing parenthesis in a row is that the first one closes the parenthesis of the isNaN function while the second closes the parenthesis for the if statement itself.
