document.write not appearing on webpage

CODE BELOW

var question1 = prompt('What is the best color?');
if (question1.toUpperCase() === 'GOLD') { window.alert("That's Correct!"); } else { window.alert("Sorry, That's Incorrect!"); }

var question2 = prompt('How many shrimps do you have to eat before you make your skin turn pink?');
if (question2 === '30' || question2 === 'thirty') { window.alert("That's Correct!"); } else { window.alert("Sorry, That's Incorrect!"); }

var question3 = prompt('How many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop?');
if (question3 === '2,000' || question3.toUpperCase === 'TWO THOUSAND' ) { window.alert("That's Correct!"); } else { window.alert("Sorry, That's Incorrect!"); }

var question4 = prompt('Who wants to be the very best, like no one ever was?');
if (question4.toUpperCase() === 'I DO' || question4.toUpperCase() === 'ASH' ) { window.alert("That's Correct!"); } else { window.alert("That's Incorrect!"); }

var question5 = prompt('Im blue?');
if (question5.toUpperCase === 'IF I WERE GREEN I WOULD DIE' || question5.toUpperCase === "IF I WE'RE GREEN I WOULD DIE" || questions5 === '1' ) {window.alert("That's Correct!"); } else { window.alert("That's Incorrect!"); }

document.write('you finished the quiz');

Moderator edited: Added markdown so the code renders properly in the forums. Note that the spacing and formatting were left intact.

The prompt boxes show up fine and the correct answers generate the "That's correct" alert message but whenever I try using the "document.write();" function (to add writing to the page) nothing appears. This is killing me because I need to store the score values next as part of this assignment but I can't know if it's storing the values properly UNTIL I can guarantee that what I write in document.write(); WILL APPEAR. So is there something here that's keeping it from running?

Hi there! You have a syntax error on the line immediately before the document.write which is preventing it from running.

You wrote:

|| questions5 === '1'

But questions5 is undefined. You meant to write:

|| question5 === '1'

//note the removal of the "s" between the "n" and "5"

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
