problem with JavaScript "crypto" game.

what is wrong with my code, chrome die all the time.

var upper = 10000; var randomNumber = getRandomNumber; var guess; var attemps = 0;

function getRandomNumber(upper) { return Math.floor( Math.random() * upper ) + 1; } while (guess !== randomNumber) { guess = getRandomNumber(upper); attemps += 1; }

document.write("Random number was " + randomNumber); document.write("it took the computer" + attemps);

You didn't call the getRandomNumber function while declaring variable randomNumber. So at this point guess will be always not equal randomNumber since it's a function, not a number. And so endless loop forms :)

Change to

var randomNumber = getRandomNumber(upper);

and you should be good.
