I'm not really sure what's being asked of me here

You are close but, you are making a call to a undefined function randomNumber() and the code in your loop is being executed 27 times.

In javascript to generate a pseudo random number, use the random() function. If you want to get a number between 1 and 10 for example, do something like this:

Math.floor((Math.random() * 10) + 1);

Hi Nick,

You're some way there, however there are some things to improve here.

To begin with, count is declared at 0 at the top of the page. As your while loop is set to be less than 27, you're going to be running the code 27 times instead of 26. So the loop should appear like this:

var count = 0;

while (count < 26) {
  count += 1;
}

Next, you're declaring a variable called randNum that's equal to the function randomNumber(). However, there's no randomNumber function in your script, so this is causing an error.

For this task, you should be able to just print the count variable every time it loops, like so:

var count = 0;

while (count < 26) {
  document.write(count);
  count += 1;
}

In essence, all you're doing is declaring count at the beginning as 0. on every iteration of the loop you'll be printing the value of count, and then increasing it by 1.

Hope this helps.

Your loop will execute 27 times. If you start from 0, then you need to have your upper limit be less than 26. If you start at 1 then you need to have your upper limit be less than 27.

Not really sure why I'm unable to vote your answer up, @James Sedghi, but I used your instructions, and the problem worked out like a charm. I really appreciate the help everyone.

ah, got it. Thanks, Jennifer. :-)
