Guess A Number - Javascript

17 New Member

Hi I am making a basic "guess what number I'm thinking of" script and I cant figure out what I'm doing wrong. When I enter my number it changes it to the right number and says correct.
(p.s. kinda new so could be dumb mistake)

heres my script:

<html>
<head>
<script language="Javas cript">
function get_random()
{
var ranNum1= Math.floor(Math .random()*4+1);
return ranNum1;
}
function match_random()
{
var the_answer=get_ random()
if(document.for m1.textbox1.val ue=the_answer)
{
alert("Correct! ")
}
else if
(document.form1 .textbox1.value !=the_answer)
{
alert("Sorry,th e number was "+the_answe r)
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
Try to guess what number I'm thinking by typing it in the text box and then clicking the button. (It's between 1 and 5)
<form name="form1">
<input type="text" name="textbox1" >
<input type="button" value="Click me!" onclick="match_ random()"
</body>
</html>

Use == to test for equality not = .

Thanks guys, A mistype, but could you help me with one more thing?

I've edited it a little more so it looks like this

[HTML]<html>
<head>
<script language="Javas cript">
function get_random()
{
var ranNum1= Math.floor(Math .random()*4+1);
return ranNum1;
}
function match_random()
{
var the_answer=get_ random()
if(document.for m1.textbox1.val ue==the_answer)
{
alert("Correct! ")
}
else if
(document.form1 .textbox1.value >0&& document.form1. textbox1.value< 6&& document.form1. textbox1.value! =the_answer())
{
alert("Sorry, the number was "+the_answe r)
}
else
{
alert("Please enter a number between 1 and 5")
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>

As you may I have noticed I'm trying to make it so that when you type a number not between 1-5 it tells you to type a number in that range. It works good except for if you type a number between 1-5 and its incorrect then it doesnt say anything.

thanks

Ok so I am making a simple guess a number game (ya know, guess a number I'm thinking of between 1 and 5) And I have one problem, If the number is between 1 and 5 and correct, or isnt between 1 and 5 it says the right message, but if it is between 1 and 5 and is wrong it says nothing. Could I have help? Here is my script:
<html>
<head>
<script language="Javas cript">
function get_random()
{
var ranNum1= Math.floor(Math .random()*4+1);
return ranNum1;
}
function match_random()
{
var the_answer=get_ random()
if(document.for m1.textbox1.val ue==the_answer)
{
alert("Correct! ")
}
else if
(document.form1 .textbox1.value >0 && document.form1. textbox1.value< 6 && document.form1. textbox1.value! =the_answer())
{
alert("Sorry, the number was "+the_answe r)
}
else
{

}
}

this should do the trick:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
else if 

((document.form1.textbox1.value<0 || document.form1.textbox1.value>5) && document.form1.textbox1.value!=the_answer())

{

alert("Sorry, the number was "+the_answer)

}

or u can just make it so if its not equal, no matter how low or high, display sorry message.

I've added code tags for you.

On line 17, you have added some braces to make the_answer into a function.

Hey, I'm new to python (and programming in general) so I'll prolly be around here a lot...

I want to be able to put in my own number and have the computer guess it. I already know how to make it guess (by using randrange) but I'm having a hard time making it smarter.

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
