// Collect input from a user
let userInput = prompt("Enter a number into the text box bellow.");
// Convert the input to a number
userInput = parseInt(userInput);
// Use Math.random() and the user's number to generate a random number
let randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random()* userInput)+1;S
// Create a message displaying the random number
let message = `The random number generated from ${userInput} is ${randomNumber}.`
console.log(message);

// Collect input from a user
const input = prompt("Enter a number into the text box bellow.");
// Convert the input to a number
inputNumber = parseInt(input);
// Use Math.random() and the user's number to generate a random number
const randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * inputNumber) + 1;
// Create a message displaying the random number
const answerWrapper = document.createElement("div");
const answer = document.createTextNode(randomNumber);
answerWrapper.appendChild(answer);
document.getElementsByTagName('main')[0].appendChild(answerWrapper);
Any improvements or suggestions?

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 1,112 PointsIt's so fascinating seeing everyones input. Mine seems a bit long in comparison to everyone else's.
// Collect input from a user
const userAnswer = prompt('Please Provide a number.');
const main = document.querySelector('main');
// Convert the input to a number
parseInt(userAnswer);
console.log(userAnswer);
// Use Math.random() and the user's number to generate a random number
let firstGenerator = Math.floor(Math.random() * userAnswer ) + 1;
alert(`${firstGenerator} is a number between 1 and ${userAnswer}.`);
console.log(firstGenerator);
// Create a message displaying the random number
main.innerHTML = (`<p><stong>${firstGenerator }</strong> is a number between 1 and <strong>${userAnswer}.</strong></p>`);
console.log(`${firstGenerator} is a number between 1 and ${userAnswer}.`);
Any input, suggestions or comments for my code are appreciated. Thanks!

// Convert the input to a number

// Collect input from a user
const picker = prompt('Please pick a number');
// Convert the input to a number
const dividend = +picker;
// Use Math.random() and the user's number to generate a random number
const divisor = Math.round(Math.random()*10);
const quotient = dividend / divisor;
// Create a message displaying the random number
alert(`${dividend} divided by ${divisor} is ${quotient}`);

let newNumber = parseInt(userInput);
// Use Math.random() and the user's number to generate a random number
