Courses Plus Student 10,577 PointsWhat happens if the guess variable is declared inside the while loop? Will the loop run for the first time?
Will the loop be run for the first time when the variable "guess" is not declared and how is the condition checked?
And, assuming the loop runs for the first time, will the "guess" variable be redeclared every time it runs?
while ( guess !== randomNumber) { // value of guess is ? var guess = getRandomNumber(upper); // value of guess is a random number generated attempts += 1; }
