Build a Random Number Guessing Game in JavaScript

Can anyone help please?

I'm doing a video called 'Build a Random Number Guessing Game' in JavaScript. I have followed the video but when I refresh my page I don't get any message in my internet from the if else part of my code.

This is what I have from the video.

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 ) { document.write('<p>You guessed the number!</p>'); } else { docuemt.write('<p>Sorry. The number was ' + randomNumber + '</p>'); }

Any suggestions welcome. Thanks

Hi, i would like just to share with you my code:

     var randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random()*6) + 1;
var guessNumber = prompt("Press a number to guess what my computer generate");
if (parseInt(guessNumber) === randomNumber){
  document.write("<p>You guess the number which is " + randomNumber + "</p>");
} else{
  document.write("<p>Oups you miss, the number was " + randomNumber + "</p>");
}
