Solution-Feedback. Thanks

var collectNumber = prompt('Please pick a number')

var collectNumber2 = prompt('Please choose second number')

var collectRealNumber = parseInt(collectNumber);

var collectRealNumber2 = parseInt(collectNumber2);

var collectNumberMin = Math.min( collectRealNumber, collectNumber2 );

var collectNumberMax = Math.max ( collectNumber, collectNumber2 );

var randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * (collectNumberMax - collectNumberMin + 1)) + collectNumberMin;

document.write(randomNumber);

Making the numbers order-independent was a nice touch. :+1:

And for future code postings, use Markdown formatting to preserve your code appearance.

+1 to Steven's answer! Also since your asking for feedback, you could clean up your code a little by deleting the two "RealNumber" variables by using the parseInt method on the original variables that contain the string input.

var collectNumber = parseInt( prompt('Please pick a number') );

var collectNumber2 = parseInt( prompt('Please choose second number') );

Using less global variables means less memory needed to hold this data in the browser, which is a plus in performance. Also, you are missing a couple of semi-colons. Nothing major of course, but something to get into the habit of!

Nice work!
