what am i doing wrong Code isn't running and page title isn't loading.

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); { guess = getRandomNumber (upper); attempts +=1; } document.write("<p> The random number was: " + randomNumber + "<p>"); document.write("<p> It took the computer " + attempts + " attempts to get it right</p>");

I believe it's nothing more than your closing </p> tag near the bottom. Try that:)

Remove the semicolon from your while declaration:

while(guess !== randomNumber); {

should be

while(guess !== randomNumber){

And as Teacher Russell said you also need to fix your closing </p> tag in your first document.write statement.

HEY THANKS!:) I feel like a dope for missing that one. I typed the code into my editor to take a look at it, and didn't realize I omitted that semi. Good eye. Go team Community.
