I followed step by step and somehow, I can't get my code to run in Chrome.
Here's what I've typed
var correctGuess = false;
var randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * 6 ) + 1;
var guess = prompt('I am thinking of a number between 1 and 6. What is it?');
if (parseInt(guess) === randomNumber ) {
correctGuess = true;
}
if (correctGuess===true) {
document.write('<p>You guessed the number!</p>');
} else {
document.write(' <p> Sorry. The number was ' + randomNumber + ' . </p>);
}
Console is saying: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL

Hope it solves the problem!
Cheers and Keep Coding!

11,368 PointsGreat! Happy Coding! Quick tip: When the console gives you that kind of message , on the right of the error , it points out in what line of your code the error is taking place, and if you click it you are taken directly to that piece of the code! So debugging is easier!
