Random Number Challenge, Part II Solution

The console is saying: ncaught ReferenceError: isNan is not defined at getRandomNumber (randomNumberChallenge.js:7) at randomNumberChallenge.js:16

/This program allows you only to submit numbers and not strings. For strings it will return an error/

function getRandomNumber(lower, upper) {

if ( isNaN(lower) || isNan(upper)) { throw new Error('Both arguments must be numbers');

}

return Math.floor(Math.random() * (upper-lower+1)) + lower; }

console.log(getRandomNumber(1,6)); console.log(getRandomNumber(5,10)); console.log(getRandomNumber(2,3)); console.log(getRandomNumber(9,5)); console.log(getRandomNumber(9,'fivehundered'));

JavaScript is case-sensitive, and the "isNaN" function is spelled with two capital "N"s. The error message is caused by the second one having a lower case "n" at the end.

The name of the function is case sensitive. It should be isNaN(). You have isNan(upper).
