Getting input value as a character instead of an integer

Question

I'm having some troubles with js. I'm trying to generate a random number between a specified range, but the code treats the number generated by Math.random as a character.

So that for example:
Set a range between 2 and 13, I should get, say, 7. But all I get is 72 because in the variable "translated", the two characters 7 and 2 (minimum value of the range) are put together to make a string.

Here's the code:

function gen() {
var min = document.getElementById("min").value;
var max = document.getElementById("max").value;
var range = max - min;
var random = Math.ceil(Math.random()*range);
var translated = random + min;
document.getElementById("result").innerHTML = translated;
}

Any suggestion?

Answer 1

min and max are both strings, so you'll need to parseInt() their value first.

var max = parseInt(document.getElementById('max').value);
var min = parseInt(document.getElementById('min').value);

Thank you very much. Here's the final code:
