Why isn't Treehouse recognizing the changes in my code?

Hi everybody!

So I made some adjustments to my code, which you can see here under script. js at this link: https://w.trhou.se/g9zygm4z0a

but Treehouse isn't recognizing them? Previously, the prompt was "The genie is thinking of a magic number" but I changed it to "I am thinking of a magic number " and made sure to save the changes. The reason this is important to me is because I also think that none of my other changes to my workspaces are actually being saved, since every time I preview them it still stays the same. :(

What's going on? Would really appreciate any help or insight into this problem!

Have you tried refreshing your page?

Have you checked the developer console in your browser to see if your code has any errors? I spotted a couple of syntax errors.

Below you have a space between 'parse' and 'Int':

}else if ( parse Int(guess) > randomNumber ) {

Below, in your 'else if', you open two braces, but only close one:

else if ( parseInt(guess) < randomNumber ) {
  var guessMore = prompt('Try again. The number is more than guessMore '); 
    if (parseInt(guessMore) === randomNumber ) {
      correctGuess = true; 
}

Perhaps these are the reasons your code is not running correctly when you refresh the page?

You could also use the developer tools in your browser to check whether or not 'scripts.js' has been updated correctly after you save your work space.
