Try this.
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) {
guess = prompt('Try Again, the number you entered was biggger than random one');
if (guess === randomNumber) {
correctGuess = true;
}
} else if (parseInt(guess) < randomNumber) {
guess = prompt('Try Again, the number you entered was smaller than random one');
if (guess === randomNumber) {
correctGuess = true;
}
}
if (correctGuess) {
document.write('<p>You guessed the number!</p>');
}
I hope this helps.

1,314 Points// could you plz check this code also.
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('you got it');
} else if(parseInt(guess) > randomNumber){
var an_Guess = prompt('u choose it bigger than random one. Try Again');
if(parseInt(an_Guess)=== randomNumber){
document.write('got it right');
}
else if(parseInt(an_Guess)> randomNumber){
document.write('this time u choose it bigger. Try smaller one');
}
else if(parseInt(an_Guess)< randomNumber)
{
document.write('this time u choose it smaller. Try bigger one');
}
}else(parseInt(Guess)< randomNumber){
document.write('this time u choose it smaller. Try bigger one');
}

16,936 PointsYour final conditional statment is missing the if to complete the else if. an else statement can not have conditions unless it is an if or else if

1,314 PointsCould you please elaborate further on if else if loop,,, why else if not else.
Chyno Deluxe
16,936 Pointsonly if and else if statements can have conditions. the else is a "catch all" to anything other than the conditions you specify.
