Conditional statement My code does not work after the first if statement

var score = 0; var question1 = prompt("What is the best programming language?"); if (question1.toUpperCase() === "PYTHON") { score += 1;

}

var question2 = prompt("What is the second best programming language?"); if (question2.toUpperCase() === "JAVASCRIPT") { score += 1;

}

var question3 = prompt("What city is Will Smith from?"); if (question3.toUpperCase() === "PHILADELPHIA") { score += 1;

}

var question4 = prompt("Where is Nicki Minaj from?"); if (question4.toUpperCase() === "NEW YORK") { score += 1;

}

var question5 = prompt("What color is the sun?"); if (question5.toUpperCase() === "YELLOW") { score += 1;

}

document.write("Your score is " + score);

if(score === 5) { alert("You win gold!"); }else if(score === 3 || score ==== 4){ alert("You win silver!"); }else if(score === 1 || score === 2){ alert("You win Bronze!"); }else{ alert("You Lose!"); }

Code

Wrap your code with 3 backticks (```) on the line before and after. If you specify the language after the first set of backticks, that'll help us with syntax highlighting.

      ```html
      <p>This is code!</p>
      ```

var score = 0; 
var question1 = prompt("What is the best programming language?"); 
if (question1.toUpperCase() === "PYTHON") { 
  score += 1;
}

var question2 = prompt("What is the second best programming language?"); 
if (question2.toUpperCase() === "JAVASCRIPT") { 
  score += 1;
}

var question3 = prompt("What city is Will Smith from?"); 
if (question3.toUpperCase() === "PHILADELPHIA") { 
  score += 1;
}

var question4 = prompt("Where is Nicki Minaj from?"); 
if (question4.toUpperCase() === "NEW YORK") { 
  score += 1;
}

var question5 = prompt("What color is the sun?"); 
if (question5.toUpperCase() === "YELLOW") { 
  score += 1;
}

document.write("Your score is " + score);

if(score === 5) { 
  alert("You win gold!"); 
} else if(score === 3 || score ==== 4){ 
  alert("You win silver!"); 
} else if(score === 1 || score === 2){ 
  alert("You win Bronze!"); 
} else { 
  alert("You Lose!"); 
}

Just a typo. Correct your code. You use 4 "=" instead of 3 "=".

} else if(score === 3 || score ==== 4){

to

} else if(score === 3 || score === 4){
