Can't find problem with my code...says last line is unfinished ???

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; } else if (parseInt(guess) < randomNumber ) { var guessMore = prompt('Try again. The number I am thinking of is greater than' + guess);
if (parseInt(guessMore) === randomNumber) { correctGuess = true;

} else if (parseInt(guess) > randomNumber ) { var guessLess = prompt('Try again. The number I am thinking of is less than' + guess); if (parseInt(guessLess) === randomNumber) { correctGuess = true; }
}
if ( correctGuess ) { document.write('<p>You guessed the number!</p>'); } else { document.write('<p>Sorry. The number was ' + randomNumber + '.</p>'); }

:point_right: You're missing a closing brace (}).

Right now, you have more open braces than closing braces. You need one more closing brace to even it out.

:information_source: Be aware that errors of this type are not detected until the last line, and so that's where the error message will indicate the problem is. But check the code carefully, as the correct placement of the missing symbol may or may not belong on the last line.
