How come the instructor uses .toUpperCase() with parentheses in the first condition, but uses .toUpperCase after?

I was just wondering the reason behind why the instructor uses the .toUpperCase() method with the parentheses in the first conditional value, but after that the rest of the .toUpperCase methods do not include the open and close parentheses? Thanks in advance!

It's an error, you must include the parenthesis to use the toUpperCase method. If you tried to run that code, it would give you an "unexpected identifier" error.
