Cant seem to get my correct answers to add up

/*

  1. Store correct answers
    • When quiz begins, no answers are correct */ let correct =0;

// 2. Store the rank of a player let rank=``

// 3. Select the <main> HTML element const main = document.querySelector(main);

/*

  1. Ask at least 5 questions
    • Store each answer in a variable
    • Keep track of the number of correct answers */ const answer1= prompt("who is the best right back of all time?"); if (answer1.toUpperCase() === 'Alves') { correct += 1; }

const answer2= prompt("Who is the the all time champions league top scorer?"); if (answer2.toUpperCase()==='Ronaldo') { correct += 1; }

const answer3= prompt("What mexican player is a treble winner?") if (answer3.toUpperCase()==='Marquez') { correct += 1; }

const answer4= prompt("What team has 13 champions leagues?") if (answer4.toUpperCase()==='Real Madrid') { correct += 1; }

Is it that you're converting the received answers to uppercase, but comparing them against normal case answer? So for instance, you might need:

if (answer2.toUpperCase()==='RONALDO') {

rather than

 if (answer2.toUpperCase()==='Ronaldo') {

Thanks so much Simon that was the problem indeed!
