4,254 PointsCan not get JavaScript introduction to conditionals challenge to work
In the first challenge in this course, I do task 1 and am told everything is working. I move on to task 2 and when I check my work I am told that task 1 has stopped working, but I have not changed it.
The prompt box pops up and if I fill in JavaScript I get an alert box telling my 'You are correct'
Could someone tell me where I am going wrong?
var answer = prompt('What is the best programming language?');
if ( answer.toUpperCase() === 'JAVASCRIPT' ) {
alert('You are correct');
}

7,551 PointsAfter having looked at the exercise there is nothing wrong with your code but the exercise isnt expecting you to use the toUpperCase() method. It is looking for a more simple answer.
var answer = prompt('What is the best programming language?');
if ( answer === 'JavaScript' ) {
alert('You are correct');
}
I tried this code in the editor and it passed.
