code wont work

something seems wrong on line 23. not sure why.

var randomNumber = getRandomNumber(10); var guess; var guessCount = 0; var correctGuess = false;

function getRandomNumber( upper ) { var num = Math.floor(Math.random() * upper) + 1; return num; }

while (guessCount < 10) { guess = prompt('I am thinking of a number between 1 and 10. What is it?'); guessCount += 1; if (parseInt(guess) === randomNumber) { correctGuess = true; break; }
}
if ( correctGuess ) { document.write('<h1>You guessed the number!</h1>'); document.write('It took you ' + guessCount + ' tries to guess the number ' + randomNumber); } else { document.write('<h1>Sorry. You didn't guess the right number. </h1>'); }

the last line is what seems to be wrong

You need to move the break statement to the 2nd if statement, otherwise your program just terminates because in case of correct guess the 2nd if statement never runs
