My code is different but it works. Are there any potential problems?

This is my code. Are there any potential issues?

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 between 1 and 10. What is it?"));
  guessCount += 1;



}while (guess !== randomNumber);


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

Qasim, no one answered your question so I'll just add a comment. The conditional part of the code is doing the exact same thing as the "while" loop in the previous lesson. So it seems like it should be pretty safe.
