Courses Plus Student 6,593 Points2 Prompt Messages with if statement
// I wanna use 2 prompt message in if statement, if user not guess the correct number in 1st attempt, program run again and ask the question. Does it possible without loop.
var guess = prompt("Please guess the number between 1 to 6."); var randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * 6) + 1; if (parseInt(guess) === randomNumber) { document.write("Congratulation, you guess the number"); }
else if (parseInt(guess) === randomNumber) { document.write("Congratulation, you guess the number"); }
else { document.write("Try again, number was " + randomNumber); }

Courses Plus Student 6,593 PointsThanks for your reply mates :) but i am very beginner in programming. So i was experimenting, maybe i could use to prompt messages with if statement.

28,693 Pointsyou'd usually use a loop (while, do while) to do this. I'm uncertain why you don't want to use a loop. Otherwise, you just repeat your code (or use a function to bundle the code to repeat) and use some conditional statements. (but this would be finite - the number of attempts would be equal to the number of times you repeat your code)
