script.js not previewing in browser.

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) { var guessMore = prompt('Try again. The number I am thinking of is more than ' + guess); if (parseInt(guessMore) === randomNumber) { correctGuess = true; } else if (parseInt(guess) > randomNumber ) { var guessLess = prompt('Try again. The number I am thinking of us less than ' + guess); } if ( correctGuess ) { document.write('<p>You guessed the number!</p>'); } else { document.write('<p>Sorry. The number was ' + randomNumber + '.</p>'); }

hi Christian, you're missing a curly brace "}" at the very end

Nice job! Everything is fine except for a missing '}' from one of the if statements. Here is the revised code:

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) { var guessMore = prompt('Try again. The number I am thinking of is more than ' + guess); } if (parseInt(guessMore) === randomNumber) { correctGuess = true; } else if (parseInt(guess) > randomNumber ) { var guessLess = prompt('Try again. The number I am thinking of us less than ' + guess); } if ( correctGuess ) { document.write('<p>You guessed the number!</p>'); } else { document.write('<p>Sorry. The number was ' + randomNumber + '.</p>'); }
