What is wrong with my code? From what I can tell, it is identical to the teacher's in the video. I have a suspicion that it has something to do with brackets, but his program worked for him.
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; } else if (parseInt(guess) < randomNumber) { var guessMore = prompt('Try again. The number I am thinking of is more than ' + guess); if (parseInt(guessMore) === randomNumber } else if (parseInt(guess) > randomNumber) { var guessLess = prompt('Try again. The number I am thinking of is less than ' + guess); if (parseInt(guessLess) === randomNumber) { correctGuess = true; } } if ( correctGuess ) { document.write('<p>You guessed the number!</p>'); } else { document.write('<p>Sorry. The number was ' + randomNumber + '.</p>'); }

38,442 PointsWhen putting code in the forum, it helps others help you, if you use formatting. If you click the "Marckdown Cheatsheet" below the text area when you're writing a post, it'll show you how to use forum formatting.
I tried putting your code in repl.it to check it. I found a few bracket, and parenthesis errors, then got confused because of the lack of formatting. I suggest you rewatch/follow along the video; or you can download the project files from the next video, and you'll have the completed code from the previous video.
