Can anyone help me with this code?

hey im having a problem with this code

function Submit() {
  var name = prompt("Hello, type your name");
  alert("Hello " + name + " lets start the game");

  alert("We gonna roll a dice, and you gonna guess what it lands on!");


  var randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * 6) + 1;

  var guess = prompt("Guess what it lands on! from 1-6");


  if (guess = randomNumber) {
    alert("YOU GUESS IT RIGHT!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!");
  } else {
    alert("you didnt guess it right, the dice landed on " + randomnumber);
  }

}

the code after the variable "guess" does not work properly,

you should change:

if(guess = randomNumber) - cause that just gives guess the number of randomNumber

to:

if(guess == randomNumber) - this will will check if guess equals randomNumber

and also in the else statement else you wrote alert ("...", randomnumber) - your var is randomNumber not randomnumber (Capital 'N')

hope this is works for you :)
