Hi there!

Trying to build a simple random number generator where the user can enter the start and end values. I thought I could use the text input fields, but it doesn’t seem to work. I get numbers, but they don’t seem to be limited by inputted values…

Also, sometimes the value “100” seems to register as a “1.” There also seem to be issues with the value “101.” Could that be something to do with binary values?

Here’s what my blocks look like

Any ideas? Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks so much 🙂

This is a bug in our system. For now you can do this:

Sorry for the inconvenience.

@paulmw Thanks so much! I tried it and it works perfectly now. 😄

I’m actually sort of relieved to know it’s a bug and not just my incompetence. lol
