 // 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
+
+//In the declaration of num, we can break it down to below:
+
+//1. A randon number, which is with decimals between 0 and 1, is created by method Math.random()
+//2. The random number in step 1 is multipled by 100. That makes an number with decimals.
+//3. The method Math.floor grounded the number in step 2 down to a whole number between 0 - 99.
+//4. The number from step 3 is added 1, so it makes a whole number between 1-100.
+
+//I think the overall javascript code here is to make a random whole number between 1-100.
