Your code so far

function randomFraction() {

// Only change code below this line
return Math.random();
return 0;

// Only change code above this line
}

Hello SARA1985,

Your code has two returns statements which is incorrect. You should remove “return 0;” and try again.

You passed the challenge because the function exited after the first return statement.

You are supposed to just return a random number with Math.random

Hi Sara1985,

I will try to explain what I understood.

Math.random() is a function which will generate decimal numbers greater or equal to 0 but less than 1 (like - 0.098766, 0.134566, etc).

The challenge here was for the randomFraction function to return a decimal which Math.random() does. Hence, what you wrote was enough.

Hope this helps.

There is a possibility (small one) that Math.random would return 0.

Try to add something to Math.random to avoid that Math.random + 1 for example .

Your solution never reaches the second return statement because the function terminates on the first one.
