Why isn't my JavaScript code working? I'm using a while loop...

My code seems to be stuck in an endless loop, can't figure out why. Can you help me?

Here's the snap from treehouse workspaces:

Thanks in advance!

Hi Jelena Bacic,

What exactly is your error?

I don't know exactly what you were trying to do, but I assume you want the message to remain popping up until they guess the number (I mean because of your while loop, I think that's what you want to do).

If so, great work, it is indeed perfect!

If you want to check and confirm that this works, you just need to do this: after you create and assign randomNumber, make another line that will log its value to the console. Like this:

var randomNumber = getRandomNumber(upperValue, lowerValue);
console.log(randomNumber);

var guessCount = 0;

Then, once you obtained the value, enter it into the dialog box (the prompt) and boom, it will appear your message. Voila ! So I think your code's perfect for what you want to do.

Still, just an (additional) idea, it would be cool to add a message telling the user when he/she's wrong, right?
