   Good work! You found the bug :-) This is the bug we find on page 70.

   I’ve been racking my brain on how to fix it. Reset the counter after each guess?

   Hello, can you please explain to me what is wrong?
   Here is the code, when executed in chrome, a miss is thrown every time, but the same code in Edge works fine

   var location1 = 3;
   var location2 = 4;
   var location3 = 5;
   var guess;
   var hits = 0;
   var guesses = 0;
   var isSunk = false;

   while (isSunk == false) {
   guess = prompt("Ready, aim, fire! (enter a number from 0-6) : ");
   if (guess < 0 || guess > 6) {
   alert("Please enter a valid cell number!");
   } else {
   guesses = guesses + 1;

   if (guess == location1 || guess == location2 || guess == location3) {
     alert("HIT!");
     hits = hits + 1;
     if (hits == 3) {
       isSunk = true;
       alert("You sank my battleship!");
     }
   } else {
     alert("MISS");
   }
   

   }
   }
   var stats = "You took " + guesses + " guesses to sink the battleship, " + "which means your shooting accuracy was " + (3 / guesses);
   alert(stats);
