Not sure when it asks " Did you use the window.alert function".

I am trying to add a conditional statement, i think i have it correct but it keeps asking if i have used the window.alert() function.

app.js 
var answer = prompt ('What is the best programming language?');
if ( answer.toUpperCase() === 'JAVASCRIPT'){
  document.write("<p>You are correct</p>");
}
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="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

The challenge wants you to use the alert() function to log the message not the document write.
