Cannot get the prompt to appear!

Please help, I'm sure it is just a typo!

var correctGuess = false; var randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * 6 ) + 1; var guess = prompt('I am thinking of a number between 1 and 6. What is it?'); if (parseInt(guess) === randomNumber ) { correctGuess = true; } if (correctGuess) { document.write('<p>You Guessed The Number!</p>'); } else { document.write('<p>Sorry. The Number Was ' + randomNumber '.</p>'); }

You're missing a plus after randomNumber where you're concatenating your string. See here:

var correctGuess = false;
var randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * 6 ) + 1;
var guess = prompt('I am thinking of a number between 1 and 6. What is it?');

if (parseInt(guess) === randomNumber ) {
  correctGuess = true; 
}

if (correctGuess) {
  document.write('<p>You Guessed The Number!</p>');
} else {
  document.write('<p>Sorry. The Number Was ' + randomNumber + '.</p>'); //extra +
}

Also, if you put three backticks above and below your code in the forums, it'll format as code which is easier to read.
