Thoughts.. What do you guys think? Did I do this right? thoughts?

function randomNumber(lower, upper) { var first = prompt("gimme a number"); first = parseFloat(first);

var second = prompt("Gimme another number"); second = parseFloat(second);

var random = Math.floor(Math.random() * (first - second) + second) ; return random;

}
