Conditional Challenge

Hello,

Could someone advise on what I'm missing to run the message at the end? Thanks!

let correctguess=0;

/*

  1. Store correct answers
    • When quiz begins, no answers are correct */ const correctQ1 = "mario galaxy"; const correctQ2 = "fire mario"; const correctQ3 = "superhuman speed"; const correctQ4 = "luigi"; const correctQ5 = "princess peach";

// 2. Store the rank of a player

const rank1= "gold"; const rank2= "bronze"; const rank3= "silver"; const rank4= "wah wah wah"; // 3. Select the <main> HTML element

/*

  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 mario game?"); const Q2= prompt ("what is your favorite mario transformation?") const Q3= prompt ("what is one of marios super powers?"); const Q4= prompt ("what is mario's brother name?") const Q5= prompt ("who does mario want to rescue?");

/*

  1. Rank player based on number of correct answers
    • 5 correct = Gold
    • 3-4 correct = Silver
    • 1-2 correct = Bronze
    • 0 correct = No crown */ if (correctguess === 5 ) { rank = "Gold"; } else if (correctguess === 1 || correctguess === 2) { rank = "Bronze"; } else if (correctguess === 3 || correctguess === 4) { rank = "Silver"; } else { rank= "wah wah wah"; }

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

document.querySelector('main').innerHTML = <h2>YOU GOT: ${correctguess} out of 5 questions. </h2>; '<p> crowned earned: <strong>${rank}</strong> </p>'

Are the questions popping up for you? One important thing that needs to be fixed is the last line of code. innerHTML should be set to a string (a template literal works best). The h2 code on that line is not in a string at all.

Another thing to note is that the correctguess variable isn't being incremented anywhere, which means it'll always be 0 at the end.

There's a decent amount to fix here, but let me know if this gets you moving in the right direction.
