Hi Guys
Keep getting this message for some reason: It looks like Task 2 is no longer passing.
var answer = "JavaScript";
if (answer.toUpperCase() === "JavaScript") {
alert ("You are correct");
} else {
document.write("<p>JavaScript is the best language!</p>");
prompt ("What is the best programming language?");
}

I see a couple of things. In the code challenge they ask you to assign the prompt to the variable answer. Also you don't need to convert the string to uppercase in your if condition. And you don't need to use the document.write in your else statement but you need to use an alert().
The correct code should look something like this:
var answer = prompt('What is the best programming language?');
if(answer === 'JavaScript'){
alert("You are correct");
}else{
alert("JavaScript is the best language!");
}
