2,886 PointsCode is not working. Can't figure out why. Browser giving me an error msg.
This is my code:
let correctGuess = false;
const number = 6;
const guess = prompt("Guess a number between 1 and 10.");
if (+guess === number) {
correctGuess = true;
}
if (correctGuess === true) {
console.log("You guessed the number!");
} else {
console.log(`Sorry, the number was ${number}.`);
}

Remember: when making the comparison of guess
and number
, guess
is a string and number
is an integer. You can make this work using a less strict ==
operator rather than the strict ===
operator.
Also remember to use back-tick quote marks in your else
section for it to be syntactically correct.
Other than that, it looks great!
let correctGuess = false;
const number = 6;
const guess = prompt("Guess a number between 1 and 10.");
if (guess == number) {
correctGuess = true;
}
if (correctGuess === true) {
console.log("You guessed the number!");
} else {
console.log(`Sorry, the number was ${number}.`);
}
