I see in this video code to create a random number, and code to evaluate whether the computer guessed correctly, but it seems to be missing a part in the middle. In which part of this code does the computer guess the random number?
thanks everyone!

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsHi Rachael,
That's close but the while loop isn't producing 2 random numbers, it's only producing the computer guess which is stored in the variable guess
On line 2 is where the first random number is generated. This is the secret number that the computer needs to guess and it's stored in the variable randomNumber This value doesn't change throughout the rest of the program.
The while loop is then used to continually generate new guesses until it matches the secret number in randomNumber
Then the program ends after displaying some results.

9,521 Pointsok, as I'm re-looking at this code (again), I realized that really what this code is doing is creating 2 random numbers, one which is labeled 'guess'. The while loop produces these 2 random numbers until they match, at which point the code ends.
am I missing anything?
