Gives you this:
The prompt is pretty common. Where you had to be reading is where I entered user_number in to the mathematical statement. Now, I am not returning a number and it is not inside of a document.write statement.
Remember we said a couple of lessons back that surrounding a number with quotes sets it to zero? Well, those plus signs do the same. Lose them and it'll
work just fine.
