JavaScript: function randomNumber(upper) { return Math.floor( Math.random() * upper ) + 1; } var counter = 0; while (counter < 10 ) { var = randNum = randomNumber(6); document.write(randomNumber + ' '); counter += 1; }

But for future questions, be sure to use "Markdown" formatting. There's a pop-up "cheatsheet" below, or you can watch this video on code formatting.

5,500 PointsI have the same issue, can't get one single random number and I can't figure out where I did wrong! P.s: my script file is already linked to html ! function randomNumber(upper) { return Math.floor( Math.random() * upper ) + 1; } var counter= 0; while ( counter < 10){ var randNum = randomNumber(6); document.write(randNum + ''); counter+=1; }

231,275 PointsIn future, instead of asking a question in an "answer" to another question, always start a fresh question.
But this code seems OK, and should generate 10 random digits. If you're still having trouble, start a new question where you can make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it.
And BTW, it's not necessary to concatenate that empty string. The "write" function will work with a number argument.

5,500 Pointsthank you, this is helpful, will definitely start a new question with a screenshot link

231,275 PointsJust to be clear, I was suggesting a snapshot not a "screenshot". Click on the colored link word in the last comment for instructions on how to make them.
