Seeing console error for line 4

I'm trying to follow along with the random number generator but I can't see what the issue could be here

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) {
  document.write('<p>That's right!</p>');
 } else {
  document.write('<p>Afraid not! The number was ' + randomNumber + '</p>');
}

put " " in the line 4:

document.write("<p>That's right!</p>");

I overlooked that I was using the single quotation mark within the string. Thanks very much!

Yes as said above the issue is with you using ' ' instead of " ". The only difference is demonstrated in the following:

'A string that\'s single quoted'

"A string that's double quoted"

So, it's only down to how much quote escaping you want to do. Obviously the same applies to double quotes in double quoted strings.
