4,078 PointsWhy is it when I run the do while statement in the console sometimes it generates < ten random numbers?
function getRandomNumber(upper) { return Math.floor( Math.random() * upper ) + 1; }
let counter = 0;
do {
console.log(The random number generated is ${getRandomNumber(10)});
counter += 1;
} while ( counter < 10);

Identical results in the console get grouped together. In Chrome this displays as a number in a circle to the left. Check for these numbers, if you see any then it means the same random number occurred more than once.
You can see this behavior by running this in your console. You should see "10" circled to the left of the the logged statement:
let counter = 0;
do {
console.log(`<-- shows that this was logged 10 times`);
counter += 1;
} while ( counter < 10);

Hope that helps =)
