Random Number Challenge
1:14It's time for another programming challenge! In this challenge, you'll create a random number generator. It should collect a number from a user, then print a random number from 1 up to the user's provided number.
You’ve learned how to work with numbers
and perform math with JavaScript.
0:00
You also learned how to
create random numbers.
0:04
I think you’re ready for
a programming challenge.
0:06
In this challenge,
you’ll create a random number generator.
0:08
It should collect a number from a user
then print a random number from one
0:11
up to the user's provided number.
0:16
To get started,
launch the new workplace with this video.
0:18
In the file random.js,
0:21
I've included comments with
instructions on what you'll need to do.
0:23
You'll use some of the concepts you've
learned so far to complete this challenge.
0:26
First, you'll need to
collect a user's input,
0:31
then convert that input
from a string to a number.
0:35
This will be the highest possible
random number in the range of numbers
0:38
starting from 1.
0:42
Then use the Math.random method
0:44
to create a random number using
the number provided by the user.
0:46
Finally you'll create a message
displaying the random number.
0:51
You can use any method you
want to display the message.
0:54
For instance, printed to the console
displayed on the page or with an alert.
0:57
The goal is to get your program
to work similarly to this.
1:02
So good luck, have fun, and in the next
video, I'll show you how I did it.
