JavaScript While Loops Explained

The document describes how to use a while loop to guess a randomly generated number. It will generate a random number between 1-6 and assign it to the variable x. It then compares x to the user's input number. The loop will repeat, incrementing the guesses variable, until it matches the input number. Once matched, it will alert how many guesses it took to get the right number.
