My code doesn't show in the workspace when I save it and hit the preview button
var correctGuess = false;
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 ) {
correctGuess = true;
} else if (parseInt(guess) > randomNumber ) {
var guessMore = prompt ('Try again. The number I am think of is more than ' + guess);
if (parseInt(guessMore) === randomNumber ) {
correctGuess = true;
} else if (parseInt(guess) < randomNumber ) {
var guessLess = prompt ('Try again. the number I am think of is less than ' + guess);
if (parseInt(guessLess) === randomNumber ) {
correctGuess = true;
}
if ( correctGuess ) {
document.write('<p>You guessed the number!</p>');
} else {
document.write('<p>Sorry. The number was ' + randomNumber + '.</p>');
}
What am I doing wrong?

var correctGuess = false;
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 ) {
correctGuess = true;
}
else if (parseInt(guess) > randomNumber ) {
var guessMore = prompt ('Try again. The number I am think of is more than ' + guess);
}
if (parseInt(guessMore) === randomNumber ) {
correctGuess = true;
}
else if (parseInt(guess)){
var guessLess = prompt ('Try again. the number I am think of is less than ' + guess);
}
if (parseInt(guessLess) === randomNumber ) {
correctGuess = true;
}
if ( correctGuess ) {
document.write('You guessed the number!');
}
else {
document.write('Sorry. The number was ' + randomNumber + '.');
}
