    In the random.js file, the first step is collecting a number from a user. 0:00
    So I started by declaring a variable and 0:01
    storing input from the user in the variable. 0:04
    You learned that the prompt method returns a string, 0:06
    even if someone types a number into the dialog box. 0:09
    So the value of inputHigh needed to be converted into a number type. 0:12
    I used the parseInt method to do that, and I stored the number value in 0:17
    a variable named highNumber to represent the highest possible random number. 0:21
    With this, I was able to generate a random number from 1 0:26
    to whatever the user typed in. 0:29
