Could someone please help explain why my battleship game isn’t running.
Thank you in advance.

var guess;
var hits = 0;

var isSunk = false;

			//END IF
			} else {
				alert("MISS!");
			}
		//END IFF
		}
	//END ELSE
	}
//END LOOP
}
//TELL user stats
var stats = "You took " + guesses + "guesses to sink the battleship, " + 
			"which means your shooting accuracy was " + (3/guesses);
alert (stats);

On line 15 you’ve missed out what you are checking against 6.

  if (guess < 0 || > 6) {

This should be

if (guess < 0 || guess > 6) {
