The code doesn't work

Can any one please help me why the code doesn't run???

var upper = 10000; var randomNumber = getRandomNumber(upper); var guess; var attempts = 0;

function getRandomNumber(upper){ return Math.floor(Math.random() * upper) +1;

}

while( guess !== randomNumber ){ guess = getRandomNumber( upper ); attempts += 1; } document.write("<p>the random no. was " + randomNumber "</p>"); document.write("<p>It took " + attempts + " to get it </p>");

On your while loop you have missed out a +. ...... (

"<p>the random no. was " + randomNumber "</p>"); should be "<p>the random no. was " + randomNumber + "</p>");

Hope this helps
