JavaScript JavaScript Basics (Retired) Making Decisions with Conditional Statements The Conditional Challenge Solution

I have done the challenge somewhat different from the teacher

My javascript is a bit different have i still got it right?

var percentage, threeCubed, cubeEdges, chessBoard, diceDots;
var correct = 0;

percentage = prompt("What is 20% of 40?"); // 8
threeCubed = prompt("How much is three cubed?"); // 27
cubeEdges = prompt("How many edges does a cube have?"); // 12
diceDots = prompt("How many dots are there in total on a pair of dice?"); // 42
chessBoard = prompt("How many squares are there on a chess board?"); // 64

if (parseInt(percentage) === 8 || percentage.toLowerCase() === "eight") {
    correct += 1;
}

if (parseInt(threeCubed) === 27 || threeCubed.toLowerCase() === "twenty seven") {
    correct += 1;
}

if (parseInt(cubeEdges) === 12 || cubeEdges.toLowerCase() === "twelve") {
    correct += 1;
}

if (parseInt(diceDots) === 42 || diceDots.toLowerCase() === "fourty two") {
    correct += 1;
}

if (parseInt(chessBoard) === 64 || chessBoard.toLowerCase() === "sixty four") {
    correct += 1;
}

document.write("You have answered " + correct + " questions correctly. <br>");

if (correct === 5) {
    document.write("You have won a gold trophy");
} else if ( correct === 4 || correct === 3 ) {
    document.write("You have won a silver trophy");
} else if ( correct === 2 || correct === 1 ) {
    document.write("You have won a bronze trophy");
} else {
    document.write("You didnt get a trophy. Try again next time");
}

Looks great, good job! :+1:

There are always options in programming. it's fine for your solution to be different as long as it works the same, and is not significantly larger or more complex than the teacher's.

I used the "or" conditional statements as opposed to the "bigger or equal to" condition and it worked great!

It does work exactly the same. The only advantage of the original version is the code is slightly more compact.
