The Conditional Challenge

I'm getting an error on 'line 55' of my code, unsure why as the conditional seems to be correct. Can anyone help?

/*

  1. Store correct answers
    • When quiz begins, no answers are correct */

let correctGuess = 0;

// 2. Store the rank of a player

let playerRank = "No crown";

// 3. Select the <main> HTML element

document.querySelector = 'main'; /*

  1. Ask at least 5 questions
    • Store each answer in a variable
    • Keep track of the number of correct answers */

const Q1 = prompt("What is your favorite car?"); if( Q1 === "Lancia Delta Integrale." ) { correctGuess +=1; } const Q2 = prompt("What's you dream motorcycle?"); if ( Q2 === "BMW S1000rr M.") { correctGuess +=1; } const Q3 = prompt("What do you miss about riding?"); if(Q3 === "The freedom." ) { correctGuess +=1; } const Q4 = prompt("What car do you have currently?"); if( Q4 === "VW Golf Mk4 Anniversary") { correctGuess +=1; } const Q5 = prompt("What's your favorite feature on your car?"); if(Q5 === "The aftermarket alloy wheels.") { correctGuess +=1; } /*

  1. Rank player based on number of correct answers
    • 5 correct = Gold
    • 3-4 correct = Silver
    • 1-2 correct = Bronze
    • 0 correct = No crown

"conditionals" */

if(correctGuess === 5) { playerRank = "Gold"; } else if { <<<<<<<-----------------This is the line where the console logs an error (correctGuess => 3 && =< 4) playerRank = "Silver"; } else if { (correctGuess =< 2 || => 1 ) playerRank = "Bronze"; } else { (correctGuess =< 2) playerRank = "No crown"; }

// 6. Output results to the <main> element

document.querySelector('main').innerHTML = <h2>You got: ${correctGuess} out of 5 questions correct.Your rank is ${playerRank}</h2>;

Good Afternoon,
I am looking specifically at your conditionals: One of your issues is that you are using && instead of ||. You are also using a short hand for function which is => instead of <= or >= the location of the <> matters. For this case you don't need to specify if the score is greater than or less than because it needs to be (===) strictlyEqual to the specified number to meet the requirements for the rank. for example:

if (correctGuess === 3 || correctGuess === 4) { playerRank = "Silver"; } I am working this code as we speak so I have a few things to work out. Hang in there!

correctGuess =< 2) playerRank = "No crown"; } - Just seen that this is incorrect and have changed to:

correctGuess = 0) playerRank = "No crown"; }
