Why didn't we type var RandomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() *6 )+1 in the 2nd line instead of 1st ?

When I wrote this code in the 2nd line, and the prompt command in 2nd line my code didn't work.

Hi Friend, if you still need assistance please add your code, because it's hard to understand what's the problem.

Hi Bhavya, Did you remember to save your script.js file?

If you want to test the program for a right answer, it can take a lot of tries before you guessed right.

You can put a console.log(randomNumber) on line 2 and cheat the program for testing purposes. If you put the prompt first you cannot do this.
