5,427 PointsThe Variable Challenge - Syntax Error
Hello,
I am attempting 'The Variable Challenge activity' and seem to be encountering an error with my code that causes my program to stop after prompting for a noun. My goal for the program is to ask the user for a noun, change that input to lower case, and then output that lower cased form on the webpage. I want to repeat this for a verb and an adjective as well.
Any recommendations on what I'm doing wrong and why it is wrong? Thanks!
//Variable list
var noun; var verb; var adjective;
//Prompts for adlibs
noun = prompt("Type in a noun"); console.log(noun); noun = noun.tolowerCase();
verb = prompt("Type in a verb"); console.log(verb); verb = verb.tolowerCase();
adjective = prompt("Type in an adjective"); console.log(adjective); adjective = adjective.tolowerCase();
//Output
document.write("One day, " + noun + "decided to_" + verb + "_" + adjective + "down the street.");
Any recommendations?

Then just for appearance, you might want to add some spaces and remove the underscores from the strings in the final statement.
