Good morning , please I need help on this particular page on codecademy's tutorial, I seem to be stuck and its taking forever to find out what's wrong with this code. Its for a dragon slayer game. Kindly assist.


var slaying = true;
youHit = Math.floor(Math.random() * 2)
damageThisRound = Math.floor(Math.random() * 5 + 1)
totalDamage = 0

while (slaying) {

if (youHit) {
console.log("You Hit the Dragon\ !!!"
totalDamage += damageThisRound;
if (totalDamage >= 4) {
console.log("You slew the\ dragon";
slaying = false;
}
else {
youHit = Math.floor(Math.random() * 2);
}
else {
console.log("You Lose";
slaying = false;
}
}

Please provide the codecademy page. . . .your code snippet is lacking the condition required in the while loop

Thanks

I did not see any error there:

The next excercise that gives you a blank screen gives you 4 instructions: all you need to enter is

var slaying = true;
var youHit = Math.floor(Math.random() * 2);
var damageThisRound = Math.floor(Math.random() * 5 + 1);
var totalDamage = 0;

To move on to the next stage where you learn the while loop.

I don't think so. It's testing for a boolean which returns true.
OP, any error messages?

same here

var slaying = true;
(while slaying) ;

infinite loop

The problem wit d code is traceable to the while loop.
