Why does the Math.random() keep updating onClick?
html, javascript
Solution
Do this:
var a = Math.floor((Math.random()*100)+1);
function random() {...}
That will store the random number before the random function is called. Otherwise, `a` will be reset every time.
Problem
So upon learning a few JavaScript functions, I wanted to make a guessing game, this is my code: (EDITED) ``` <body> <script> var a; function rand(){ var a = Math.floor((Math.random()*100)+1); } function random() { guess = document.getElementById('gess').value; if(guess < a) { document.getElementById('gus').innerHTML = 'To small!'; } else if(guess > a) { document.getElementById('gus').innerHTML = 'To big!'; } else if(guess == a) { document.getElementById('gus').innerHTML = 'Correct! The secret number is ' + a; } } </script> <h1> Guess the secret number! </h1> <input type='text' id='gess'> <input type='button' onClick='random()' value='Guess!'> <input type='button' value='Reset Number' onClick='rand()'> <br> <p id='gus'> </p> </body> ``` What do I do, for the random number (a) to stop refreshing every time I click 'Guess', thank you in advance!
