add conditional statement

Im currently trying to pass this test and it's appearing that no matter what i add to the test it just tells me "Oops it looks like task 1 is no longer passing" (Refering to just the var)

app.js 
var answer = prompt('What is the best programming language?');
if (answer === 'Javascript') {
  alert('You are correct');
} else {
  alert('You are incorrect');

Hey

So close!

You didn't close off your else statement

Happy coding

Thank you! I skipped to the next section which also requires a conditional statement and realized this, though it was giving me a different. This problem specifically stating task 1 no longer completed is what was throwing me off, and making me think it was a different issue.
