unexpected end of input?

I keep getting unexpected end of input for this code. I'm in javascript basics. Help! Thanks!

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 is more than ' + guess); if (parseInt(guess) === randomNumber ) { correctGuess = true; }

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

You have two issues

1) You are missing closing brackets in each of your else if blocks. This is the cause of your unexpected end of input.

2) You are not checking your second guess variables (guessMore, guessLess). You check guess instead.

Updated code is below:

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 is more than ' + guess);

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