var guess=prompt("Enter The Guessed Value Between 1 To 10");
var integer = parseInt(guess);
var random = Math.floor(Math.random()*10)+1;

if(guess===random){

    document.write("<h3> You Have Guessed It Correct The Value Is"+random+"</h3>");
}

else if(guess<random)
    {

      var guessagain=  prompt("Sorry Try Again Random value is greater than what you have guessed");
        if(guessagain===random){

            document.write("You Guesssed It In A Try")
        }


    }
 else if(guess>random)
    {

      var guessless=  prompt("Sorry Try Again Random value is lesser than what you have guessed");
        if(guessless===random){

Hi Akash.

When you evaluate guessagain or guessless, you manage only the case in which the user guess the number, but the case in which the number is different from "random" is managed in the outer "else", and will never occur!

You need something like this:

/* ... */

} else if ( guess > random ) {
    var guessless=  prompt("Sorry Try Again Random value is lesser than what you have guessed");
    if ( guessless === random ) {
        document.write("You Guesssed It In A Try again");
    } 
    /* here you need your outer else statement */ 
    else {
        document.write("<h3>The Random Value is" + random + "</h3>");
    }
}

/* ... */

Also, is not part of the error, but: you declare an "integer" variable, but you never use it.

Hope it helps!
