Could you redefine the guess variable in the else if statements?

Could you do this to replace the old variable value:

else if (parseInt(guess)>randomNumber) { guess = prompt(guess + ' is too high, try a lower number'); }

instead of creating a new variable:

else if (parseInt(guess)>randomNumber) { guessAgain = prompt(guess + ' is too high, try a lower number'); }

I don't see why not and honestly I'd probably do it like that as long as we didn't need to keep the original guess for some purpose later in the "game".

Thanks, yes, I saw how guessAgain ended up coming into play later.
