the random number

So does every time a random number generates and then every time i try to guess a new number? What i mean is does the random number stay the same from the first time the browser generates a random number and then i try to guess that number, or does it change every time i get it wrong?

The random number is only generated when the getRandomNumber function is called, which only happens at the very start of the script.

When you load the page a random number is assigned to the randomNumber variable, and then after that your guess is compared to that stored number. It does not change after you make a guess.
