On the last line there's a syntax error where the semicolon is inside the parentheses.

Also, to call the toUpperCase method, you must have a pair of parentheses after the name. Otherwise, you're comparing the method itself with the correct answer (which will never match).

omg... It happened again!

Hello Phillipp,

Could you provide some context as to what you think is wrong with your code? Is there something specific not working?

I'd recommend taking a look at this line:

document.write("<p>Very bad</p>";)

Happy coding!

Thank you!!) pair of parentheses after toUpperCase method solved the issue.
