JavaScript Program to Guess a Random Number

In this example, you will learn to write a JavaScript program where the user has to guess a number generated by a program.


Example: Program to Guess a Number

// program where the user has to guess a number generated by a program

function guessNumber() {

    // generating a random integer from 1 to 10
    let random = Math.floor(Math.random() * 10) + 1;

    // take input from the user
    let number = parseInt(prompt('Guess a number from 1 to 10: '));

    // take the input until the guess is correct
    while(number !== random) {
        number = parseInt(prompt('Guess a number from 1 to 10: '));
    }

    // check if the guess is correct
    if(number == random) {
        console.log('You guessed the correct number.');
    }

  }

// call the function
guessNumber();

 

Output

Guess a number from 1 to 10: 1
Guess a number from 1 to 10: 8
Guess a number from 1 to 10: 5
Guess a number from 1 to 10: 4
You guessed the correct number.

Note: You will get different output values each time you run the program because each time a different number is generated.

In the above program, the guessNumber() function is created where a random number from 1 to 10 is generated using Math.random() function.
