I can't find problem in my code.

When I entering the right answer, it still shows "sorry the number is ..." . It never shows "Cool! that is right answer. " I can't find where go wrong. here is my code.

var guess = prompt("guess a number from 1 to 6"); var number = Math.floor(Math.random()*6)+1; var correctGuess = false;

if (parseInt(guess) === number){ correctGuess===true; } else if(parseInt(guess)<number){ var guessMore = prompt(" I think the number is bigger than "+ guess+"."); if(parseInt(guessMore) === number){ correctGuess === true; } } else if(parseInt(guess) > number){ var guessLess = prompt("I think the number is less than" + guess + '.'); if (parseInt(guessLess) === number){ correctGuess === true; } } if (correctGuess){ document.write('<p> cool! that is right answer. </p>') } else { document.write('<p> sorry the number is '+ number +' .</p>') }

Replace 

correctGuess === true;

with 

correctGuess = true;

var guess = prompt("guess a number from 1 to 6"); var number = Math.floor(Math.random()*6)+1; var getAnswer = "answer" function correctGuess(){ if (parseInt(guess) === number){ answer=true; } else if(parseInt(guess)<number) { var guessMore = prompt(" I think the number is bigger than "+ guess+" .")}; if(parseInt(guessMore) === number){ answer = true; } else if(parseInt(guess) > number){ var guessLess = prompt("I think the number is less than" + guess + ' .'); if (parseInt(guessLess) === number){ answer =true; } } document.write('<p> cool! that is right answer. </p>') } else { document.write('<p> sorry the number is '+ number +' .</p>') }

You have already assigned a false value to correctGuess therefore it can't be true at the same time. This might work.
