Question

I wanted to do an experiment before applying it to the crown code challenge, but even at the simplest level, I can't get it to work.  So I added a prompt so that anyone can try out different score levels.  Why am I only getting black?
```javascript
var score = prompt("Type in a number between 0 to 5, please");
if (score === 1) {
  var color = "orange";
}
else if (score === 2) {
  var color = "blue";
}
else if (score === 3) {
  var color = "green";
}
else if (score === 4) {
  var color = "purple";
}
else if (score === 5) {
  var color = "yellow";
}
else {
  var color = "black";
}
document.write(color);
```

You almost have it. You need to convert the users input from a string to an integer using parseInt. View below.
JavaScript
var score = parseInt(prompt("Type in a number between 0 to 5, please"));

This will convert a string into a number, assuming the users input is a number.
