the guess and the correct answer are always equal..it's not "random"

Well in programming the rand function never really gives us a truly random number. The result of the rand() function is a response of anything between 0 and 1. You then have to put another function on it to get a whole number then multiply it by any other number to get a range.

The code looks fine to me, the attempts variable simply increments by 1 whenever the numbers are not matching... unless there's something I've missed. :-)

The issue that I saw, that would make the number of guesses equal the initial guess is in your while loop the variable guess is using the same random number function as the initial guess, so both variables will receive that number. You are also not outputting the attempts made by the computer. you are outputting the guess variable. I refactored your code below. If you have any questions please ask.

var upper = 10000
var randomNumber = getRandomNumber(upper);
var guess;
var attempts = 0;


function getRandomNumber(upper) {
  return Math.floor( Math.random() * upper ) + 1;
}

while (guess !== randomNumber) { //Here the var guess is guessing the number
  attempts += 1; // you want to iterate through the attempts and list how many times the comp guesses
}

document.write ("<p> the random number was: " + randomNumber + "</p>");
document.write ("<p> it took the computer: " + attempts + "attempts to get it right. </p>"); // List the number of attempts

ahhhhh hhaaaaaaaaa thank you, now I have a better understanding :)

when randomnumber and guess is same then why it's not matching on first time. why it's taking long time to match the random numbr.
