Javascript loop peculiar problem

I've followed the video almost exactly (changed 'var' for 'let', but in troubleshooting also changed this back but to no avail), but when I run this code it doesn't give me 10 random numbers, rather it just displays the equation are return.

Any help would be appreciated.

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

let counter = 0;

while (counter < 10) {
  let randNum = randomNumber(6);
  document.write(randomNumber + ' ');
  counter += 1;
}

In your document.write(randomNumber + ' '), you have the name of the function and not the variable that you declared. It should be document.write(randNum + ' '),
