Hello,
The code bellow sends back NaN when trying to say how many attempts it took the computer, I have tried debugging via my eyes but I cant understand how its getting to that result. any help is appreciated. :)
var upper = 10000;
var randomNumber = getRandomNumber(upper);
var guess;
var attempts;
function getRandomNumber(upper) {
return Math.floor( Math.random() * upper ) + 1;
}
while ( guess !== randomNumber ) {
guess = getRandomNumber( upper );
attempts += 1;
}
document.write("<p>The random number was: " + randomNumber + "</p>");
document.write("<p>It took the computer " + attempts + " attempts to get it right!</p>");
