7,331 PointsThe script continues past 10 despite the while loop having guessCount < 10. Help?
Here is my code:
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;
}
while ( guessCount < 10 ) {
guess = prompt('I am thinking of a number between 1 and 10. What is it?');
guessCount += 1;
if (parseInt(guess) === randomNumber) {
correctGuess = true;
break;
}
}
if ( correctGuess ) {
document.write('You guessed the number!');
document.write('It took you ' + guessCount + ' tries to guess the number ' + randomNumber);
} else {
document.write('<h1>Sorry. You did not guess the number.</h1>');
}
What am I missing?

7,331 PointsHmm. I even took it out and tried it in Cloud9 from workspaces. It is supposed to allow ten guesses then stop. I tried it several times and it went into the 20s. Let me try again, though.

7,331 PointsOK, I was an idiot and missed something in the file structure. I basically had index.html pointing to the wrong place. Sigh... Time for a break.

23,438 PointsHaha, details details. The code was right, that's the important part.
