Can't seem to get my code to work. can anyone help? Thanks in advance.
var randomNumber = getRandomNumber(10); var guess; var guessCount = 0; var correctGuess = false;
function getRandomNumber( upper ) { var num = Math.floor(Math.random() * upper) + 1; return num; }
do { guess=prompt('I am thinking of a number between 1 and 10. What is it?'); guessCount += 1; if (parseInt(guess) === randomNumber) { correctGuess = true; } } while ( ! correctGuess ) document.write('<h1>You guessed to number!</h1>'); document.write('It took you ' guessCount + ' tries to guess the number ' + randomNumber);

Are you using upper as a variable? Did you initialise this before using it?

What you can do is change the upper parameter to 3 or something to increase the chance to guess right, at one point i used 64 tries to guess the right number between 1-10, I too thought that there were something wrong with the code... ?
