4,968 Pointsguess = getRandomNumber( upper);
guess = getRandomNumber( upper) */ We set the empty variable guess, to the function that contains the formula for picking a random number. This is the same function that the computer used at first to come up with a random number. Doesn't setting guess to getRandomNumber( upper) give away the answer that is picked by the computer already?! */

As you see in the while loop, the guess variable is constantly being changed to a new number everytime while runs, and every time it runs, attempt is recording it. randomNumber calls the getRandomNumber() function one time only, so randomNumber is a single number. I hope that helps.

4,968 PointsSo basically, the number would not be the same because every time it is accessed, it generates a new random number?
