Hi Ayan

Let me paste your code again:

var Question = 3; 
var Question_Left = '[' + Question + ' Question Left ]' ;
var GirlFriendFirst = prompt(" Enter The Girlfriend Name " + Question_Left );

var Question -= 1; 
var Question_Left = '[' + Question + ' Question Left ]' ; 
var GirlFriendSecond = prompt(" Enter The Girlfriend Name " + Question_Left );

var Question -= 1; 
var Question_Left = '[' + Question + ' Question Left ]' ; 
var GirlFriendThird = prompt(" Enter The Girlfriend Name " + Question_Left );

alert(" All done And set for Print ");

var AllGirlFriend = " I love " + GirlFriendFirst + " More then Anything "; 
AllGirlFriend += " But i used to love " + GirlFriendSecond + " a lot, but she never loved me "; 
AllGirlFriend += " Now i love " + GirlFriendThird + " A lot She is my life now";

The problem with the code is that you used the keyword "var" in a few places where JavaScript don't know what to do with it.

Only use "var" when you declare a variable for the first time. The reason the code is not working, is that you used "var" on the same variable a few times.

For example, on line 1, you write: var Question = 3; And then on line 5 you write: var Question -= 1;

Your last 3 lines of code are a perfect example of how to use "var" correctly! So delete all the unnecessary "vars" in your code, and it should work.

I hope this helps, Idan.
