4,213 PointsCurrently you are writing the literal string "answer" to the document instead of the variable answer. So simply remove those single quotes from the argument inside of document.write to get this working correctly.
Solution:
// Store Prompt Result inside Answer variable //
var answer = prompt("What day is it?");
// Write Answer to Document //
document.write(answer);

The input of the user (returned through the prompt function) is stored inside your variable named "answer". You'll then have to pass this variable to the document.write() method.
