var answer = prompt("What is the best programming language?");
if ( answer.toUpperCase() == 'JAVASCRIPT'){
alert("You are correct");
}
After adding '.toUpperCase()' to the code, I get the error that task One's check failed. Task One was just the creation of the first line, which seems fine. I can't pass this challenge. Anyone else experience this?

21,972 PointsI just tried the challenge and passed. I am leaving out the last else statement. Give it a try :)
Your first line is correct. The challenge asks for the answer to be spelled as follows: 'JavaScript' NOT uppercase JAVASCRIPT. Try using the following:
var answer = prompt("What is the best programming language?");
if(answer === 'JavaScript') { alert("You are correct"); }
