while (guess == randomNumber) {
    guess = readLine("Guess a number between 1 and 10: ");

    if (guess == randomNumber) {
        console.log("Congratulations, you guessed the correct number!");
    } else if (guess < randomNumber) {
        console.log("Sorry, your guess is too low. Try again.");
    } else {
