I have the alert to show that the code is working, but it gives me an error saying to make a new return.
function returnValue( upper ) {
var Value = Math.floor(Math.random() * upper ) + 1;
return Value;
}
alert( returnValue( 10 ));

Your function is valid and it works fine but this is not what the challenge is asking you to do. You need to return the parameter of your function inside of its code and then outside of the function is where you would write the code for the second task. Something like this:
function returnValue(upper) {
return upper;
}
// code for Task 2

1,945 PointsThanks! I've tried different things, like alerting 'Hello', and that worked before. I should have connected the dots. Have a good day and thank you again.
