Browser is not executing if loop? My syntax must be wrong but I cant find where.

For some reason the contents of my if loops are not running. Am I just having a blonde moment in regards to my syntax?

//quiz result counter. Should start at zero and incramentaly increase in value var counter = 0;

alert("Welcome to Gaura's Game of Thrones Quiz!"); var q1 = prompt("Who is Eddard Stark's bastard son?"); //Question one. if (q1.toUpperCase() === "Jon Snow" || q1.toUpperCase() === "John Snow") { //counter increases by one point and an alert lets the user know they were correct. counter += 1; alert("Good Job!"); } else { alert("Sorry, wrong answer!"); } console.log(counter)

Hi Guara! You must change your syntax to read: if (q1.toUpperCase() === "JON SNOW" || q1.toUpperCase() === "JOHN SNOW") because you are putting the answer into all caps, so the correct answer must also be in all caps! If this answer helped you please hit Best Answer!
