trying different code for do...while video

var randomNumber = getRandomNumber(10);
var guess;
var guessCount = 0;


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

do {
  guess = prompt("I am thinking of a number between 1 and 10. What is it?");
  guessCount +=1;

} while (parseInt(guess) ==! randomNumber)

document.write("<p>You have guessed the Random number:" + randomNumber + "</p>");
document.write("<p>It took you " + guessCount + " guesses to get it write.</p>")

I tried the previous code for https://teamtreehouse.com/library/do-while-loops-2 It is different than what is written in the video but I would like to know what is wrong with my code

The type-sensitive inequality operator is "!==", but the code here has "==!" instead (equality combined with negation).

And while it doesn't affect program operation, the word "right" is shown as "write".
