+// The Math.random() function generates a random decimal number in the range 0 ≤ x < 1.
+// This random decimal is then multiplied by the range size to scale it to a
+// value between 0 and 100. The result is a floating-point number in this interval.
+// Next, Math.floor() is used to round the number down to the largest integer less than
+// or equal to the calculated value, producing an integer between 0 and 99.
+// Finally, by adding minimum, the range is shifted from 0–99 to 1–100, giving a random
+// integer within the required range.
+// I have run 5 times the program and this produces different values each time because
+// Math.random() generates a new random decimal number every time.

 Open the Chrome devtools Console, type in `console.log` and then hit enter
 
 What output do you get?
+//ƒ log() { [native code] } . This is the output. The output indicates it is a function whose name is log() and which is built in

 Now enter just `console` in the Console, what output do you get back?

 Try also entering `typeof console`

 What does the syntax `console.log` or `console.assert` mean? In particular, what does the `.` mean?
