JavaScript JavaScript Basics (Retired) Making Decisions with Conditional Statements Introducing Conditional Statements

JavaScript Conditional Statements Code Challenge

I'm having trouble with this code challenge.

My code for Task 1 works fine but when I get to Task to and have to input my conditional statement I get an error of "Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing".

I've retried it a heap of times and keep getting the same error. I really don't know where I am going wrong as I haven't changed anything on the code from Task 1.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :-)

app.js 
var answer = prompt('What is the best programming language?');
if (answer.toUpperCase === "JAVASCRIPT") {
  alert("You are correct");
}
index.html

Hi Don,

You currently have too much code for what task 2 is asking for, what it wants is for you to check the value of answer and see if the value matches JavaScript without any kind of transforming or manipulation. Your code was close, just needs a couple of minor changes which you can see below.

if (answer === "JavaScript") {
  alert("You are correct");
}

Happy coding!
