how the heck?!!!

So I followed along and there was a browser error. WHAT?

my current code: 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 ) { document.write('<p>You guessed the number!</p>'); } else { document.write('<p>Sorry. The number was ' + randomNumber + '</p>); }

Help!

:point_right: It looks like your problem is a missing closing quote on your last string. You probably meant:

document.write('<p>Sorry. The number was ' + randomNumber + '</p>');  // <- quote added at end

Math.floor(Math.random() * 6 ) + 1 always generates 1 if you want to generate a random number between 1 and 6 try this :

Math.floor(Math.random()*6+1)

Actually, both of those do exacty the same thing - it makes no difference if you add a whole number inside or outside the floor function.

i think you missed an ' at the end of else { document.write('<p>Sorry. The number was ' + randomNumber + '</p>); }
