I've done it differently. Is it wrong?

I tried to do the code by myself before the instructor carried on explaining the solution. Is this also correct? Or will it be better to do it like the instructor explained.

See my code in the next comment:

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

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

do {
  guess = prompt('I am thinking of a number between 1 and 10. What is it?');
  guessCount += 1;

  if (parseInt(guess) === randomNumber ) {
    document.write('<p>You have guessed correctly. The number was ' + randomNumber + '</p>');
    document.write('<p>You have guessed ' + guessCount + ' times before you got it right..</p>');
    correctGuess = true;    
  }  

} while (! correctGuess);

Your code seems Fine. Because When The guess is correct you print it and break from the loop by making your correctGuess true.
