How come at the last part of Dave's code his Document.write doesn't have a h1 tag name inside it.

His document.write() didn't have any tag name. I copied it and it didn't follow. On the other hand, his code worked by doing the same exact. Here's my code:

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

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

do { guess = prompt("I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10. What is it?") guessCount++; if(parseInt(guess) === randomNumber) { gg = true; } } while(! gg)

document.write("<h1> You guessed the correct number! </h1>") document.write("It took you " + guessCount + " tries to guess the number " + randomNumber )

//nothing was applied to html

Nothing appears on the page until the correct number is guessed.

But that's just how the program is written.

And the second document.write doesn't have a tag because it's only writing plain text to the document, not a header. Text in an HTML document doesn't always need to be in a tag.

Did that cover your question?
