Tell us what’s happening:
Hello. The provided solution is not correct based on the description of the problem.
It says it must return a random Integer between the two input values. But then we must use ceiling of myMin because if a non-integer is fed to the function it will return a non-integer in violation of the problem.
And we also must use floor of myMax
Otherwise input parameters like myMin=0.1,myMax=1.9 which should Only return 1, will return 1-2
I suggest fixing the solution to be true for non-Integer inputs and adding them to the test conditions or specifying in problem it will give random Integer values inclusive between two integers only.
Best,

Your code so far
// Example
function ourRandomRange(ourMin, ourMax) {
return Math.floor(Math.random() * (ourMax - ourMin + 1)) + ourMin;
}
ourRandomRange(1, 9);
// Only change code below this line.
function randomRange(myMin, myMax) {
return Math.floor(Math.random()*(myMax-myMin+1))+Math.ceil(myMin); // Change this line
}
// Change these values to test your function
var myRandom = randomRange(5, 15);
