How about this code of mine?

var randomNumber = getRandomNumber(10); var guess; var guessCount = 0;

function getRandomNumber( upper ) { var num = Math.floor(Math.random() * upper) + 1; return num; }

do { guess = parseInt(prompt (' I\'m thinking of a number, please think')); guessCount += 1; } while( guess !== randomNumber); document.write ('<p> ' + 'Good job! </p>'); document.write ('you have succesfully guessed the number in ' + guessCount + ' attempts');

I'm not sure what you're asking, but at first glance this code appears to be complete and correct. Good job. :+1:

Tip: You can avoid escaping apostrophes by enclosing strings in quote marks instead:   "Here's an example"

And for future posts with code, be sure to use the instructions for code formatting in the Markdown Cheatsheet pop-up below the "Add an Answer" area. :arrow_heading_down:   Or watch this video on code formatting.

Whoaaa, thanks for the response sir. As for the code formatting rules, I'll read it immediately.

Bonus tip: You never need concatenation with two literal strings. Just write them as one string:   "<p> Good job! </p>"

Looking great!
