 // In this exercise, you will need to work out what num represents?
 // Try breaking down the expression and using documentation to explain what it means
 // It will help to think about the order in which expressions are evaluated
 // Try logging the value of num and running the program several times to build an idea of what the program is doing
+
+// num represents a random whole number between 1 and 100, including both 1 and 100.
+// Math.random() generates a random number from 0 up to, but not including, 1.
+// Multiplying by (maximum - minimum + 1) creates the required range.
+// Math.floor() rounds the result down to a whole number.
+// Adding minimum makes the final range start at 1.
