In do while loop video we built a program to ask user choose the number between 1 to 10. My question is that if we repeat same value that program give endless loop.

So I guess the answer to your question is "yes", the loop is endless if you keep guessing the wrong number.

Courses Plus Student 6,593 Pointscode is bellow: var randomNumber = getRandomNumber(2); var guess; var guessCount = 0; var correctGuess = false;
function getRandomNumber( upper ) { var num = Math.floor(Math.random() * upper) + 1; return num; }
do { guess = prompt('I am thinking of a number between 1 and 2. What is it?'); guessCount += 1; if (parseInt(guess) === randomNumber) { correctGuess = true; }
} while ( ! correctGuess )
document.write('<h1>You guessed the number!</h1>'); document.write('It took you ' + guessCount + ' tries to guess the number ' + randomNumber);
