Having trouble calling the document.write()

I have tried to call the document.write into this but come up short every time.

script.js 
var count = 0;
while ( counter <27 ) {
  var counter = randomNumber (1)
  document.write (count + ' ' );
  counter += 1;
}

Here are a few hints:

  • the variable for the loop is "count" but you wrote "counter"
  • you don't need another variable
  • there's no function defined named "randomNumber"
  • it's better to not have a space between a function name and the parenthesis
  • since you start counting at 0, you should stop before the number you want
