1,777 PointsCode not working at all
I followed the instructions and even corrected my code to look exactly like Guil's at the end of the video, but the code still isn't working. When trying to test if it works, I receive an error saying "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input." Can someone please help?
Below is the code that was written:
/*
1. Store correct answers
- When quiz begins, no answers are correct
*/
let correct = 0;
// 2. Store the rank of a player
let rank;
// 3. Select the <main> HTML element
const main = document.querySelector('main');
/*
4. Ask at least 5 questions
- Store each answer in a variable
- Keep track of the number of correct answers
*/
const answer1 = prompt("What is the color of the sky?");
if ( answer1.toUpperCase() === 'Yellow') {
correct += 1;
}
const answer2 = prompt("What is the color of the ocean?");
if ( answer2.toUpperCase() === 'Blue') {
correct += 1;
const answer3 = prompt("What is a device that tells time?");
if ( answer3.toUpperCase() === 'Clock') {
correct += 1;
const answer4 = prompt("When water falls from the sky, what's that called?");
if ( answer4.toUpperCase() === 'Rain') {
correct += 1;
const answer5 = prompt("What color is a paper clip?");
if ( answer5.toUpperCase() === 'Silver') {
correct += 1;
/*
5. Rank player based on number of correct answers
- 5 correct = Gold
- 3-4 correct = Silver
- 1-2 correct = Bronze
- 0 correct = No crown
*/
if ( correct === 5 ) {
rank = 'Gold';
} else if ( correct >= 3) {
rank = 'Silver';
} else if ( correct >= 1) {
rank = 'Bronze';
} else {
rank = 'None :(';
}
// 6. Output results to the <main> element
main.innerHTML =
`<h2>You got ${correct} out of 5 questions correct.</h2>
<p>Crown earned: <strong>${rank}</strong></p>
`;

PHP Development Techdegree Graduate 48,637 PointsLook specifically at this line:
if ( answer2.toUpperCase() === 'Blue') {
correct += 1;
const answer3 = prompt("What is a device that tells time?");
if ( answer3.toUpperCase() === 'Clock') {
correct += 1;
const answer4 = prompt("When water falls from the sky, what's that called?");
if ( answer4.toUpperCase() === 'Rain') {
correct += 1;
const answer5 = prompt("What color is a paper clip?");
if ( answer5.toUpperCase() === 'Silver') {
correct += 1;
You are missing multiple closing braces.
