I have scoured over my code and I cannot get it to run. I don't see any difference from what he wrote on screen.
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 (guess < 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("<h1>You guessed the number!</h1>");
document.write("It took you " + guessCount + " tries to guess the number " + randomNumber);
} else {
document.write("<h1>Sorry, you did not guess the correct number</h1>");
}

while (guessCount < 10) {
