var answer2 = prompt("What is the capital of Pakistan ?");
if (answer2.toUpperCase() === 'Islamabad'){
correct += 1;
}
var answer3 = prompt("What is the capital of England ?");
if (answer3.toUpperCase() === 'London'){
correct += 1;

var answer5 = prompt("What is the capital of Australia ?");
if (answer5.toUpperCase() === 'Sydney'){
correct += 1;
