Hi Chen,

Do you mean how to post code in the forum?

If so, I think you don't need double slash(//).

alert("You will receive a number between 1 and the number you are thinking.")

var userNumber= prompt("What number are you thinking?");

var numberX = (Math.floor(Math.random() * (parseInt(userNumber)))) + 1;

document.write("Your number is " + numberX)

Sincerely,
