Can't understand why the program is not prompting nothing

When I start the programming nothing happens and I can't understand why. Somebody can help me please? My code is below:

var question1 = 'Quanto são 4 * 3?' ;
var question2 = 'Quanto são 4 * 5?' ;
var question3 = 'Quanto são 4 * 4?' ;
var question4 = 'Quanto são 4 * 6?' ;
var question5 = 'Quanto são 4 * 7?' ;

var correctAnswer1 = 12;
var correctAnswer2 = 20;
var correctAnswer3 = 16;
var correctAnswer4 = 24;
var correctAnswer5 = 28;

var score = 0; 

var userAnswer1 = prompt(question1);

if (parseInt(userAnswer1) === correctAnswer1) {
  score += 1;
}

var userAnswer2 = prompt(question2);

if (parseInt(userAnswer2) === correctAnswer2) {
  score += 1;
}

var userAnswer3 = prompt(question3);

if (parseInt(userAnswer3) === correctAnswer3) {
  score += 1;
}


var userAnswer4 = prompt(question4);

if (parseInt(userAnswer4) === correctAnswer4 {
  score += 1;
}


var userAnswer5= prompt(question5;

if (parseInt(userAnswer5 === correctAnswer5 {
  score += 1;
}

var finalMessage = 'Você acertou  ' + score + ' de 5 perguntas';

alert(finalMessage);

Your code is fairly solid, you're just missing some syntax problems with parentheses. On lines 36, 41, and 43 you're missing one or more closing parentheses. 

var userAnswer4 = prompt(question4);

if (parseInt(userAnswer4) === correctAnswer4) { // HERE
  score += 1;
}


var userAnswer5= prompt(question5); // HERE

if (parseInt(userAnswer5) === correctAnswer5) { // HERE (2)
  score += 1;
}

Fixing those minor errors should get your prompts working. Everything ran as expected for me after making those changes. Keep up the good work, and happy coding!
