(HELP) Use the prompt() method to ask the user "What day is it?" and store the result in the answer variable.

i can't see what my mistake is

scripts.js 
var answer = prompt('what day is it?');
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="scripts.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

Hi Johnny, ensure that "What day is it?" the "W" should be capitalized in your prompt.

Now you store the ask value in the "answer" variable. Ohh yes, I see. Please correct inside the "prompt()" method the first w is a capital W. Just copy and paste the text. Hope this help.
