Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 4,468 Points2nd question prompt not showing up. What's wrong with my code?
Hi guys, I've taken the advice of the instructor and I'm running my code little by little. The first time I ran this code it was fine, the problem is begins with the second question. When I put the second question in the quiz the program failed to run at all. The Dev Tools mentioned a syntax error on line 21 but as much as I've looked I can't seem to find it. Can you let me know what you think the problem is?
Quiz.js:
var guessedRight = 0; //Beginning of the questions var quest1 = prompt("What's the best programming language?");
if(quest1 === "javascript") {
document.write("Absolutely");
guessedRight+= 1;
} else { document.write("I'm sorry, wrong answer"); }
var quest2 = prompt("What's the hardest part of programming");
if(quest2 === "logic") {
document.write("You got it");
guessedRight+= 1;
} else {
document.write("logic is definitely the hardest thing to master.");

47,649 PointsHey you had a slight syntax error at line 21. You left out the closing curly brace to close the second else statement. This should work ... compare the last line with your code.
var guessedRight = 0;
//Beginning of the questions
var quest1 = prompt("What's the best programming language?");
if (quest1 === "javascript") {
document.write("Absolutely");
guessedRight+= 1;
} else {
document.write("I'm sorry, wrong answer");
}
var quest2 = prompt("What's the hardest part of programming");
if (quest2 === "logic") {
document.write("You got it");
guessedRight+= 1;
} else {
document.write("logic is definitely the hardest thing to master.");
}
