How does this code look?

hey guys, I was wondering how this good looks to you and if I can do anything better.

//Start - Initial quiz score.
var correctAnswers = 0;
var uncorrectAnsewers =0;

//Questions.
var question1 = prompt("What is the name of the content layer in web development?");
if (question1.toUpperCase() === "HTML") {
  correctAnswers += 1;
}
else {
  uncorrectAnsewers += 1;
}

var question2 = prompt("What is the name of the behaviour layer in web development?");
if (question2.toUpperCase() === "JAVASCRIPT") {
  correctAnswers += 1;
}
else {
  uncorrectAnsewers += 1;
}

var question3 = prompt("how do we call a line of text in programming?");
if (question3.toUpperCase() === "STRING") {
  correctAnswers += 1;
}
else {
  uncorrectAnsewers += 1;
}

var question4 = prompt("How do we call a number in programming?");
if (question4.toUpperCase() === "INTEGER") {
  correctAnswers += 1;
}
else {
  uncorrectAnsewers += 1;
}

var question5 = prompt("How de we call a decimal number in programming?");
if (question5.toUpperCase() === "FLOAT") {
  correctAnswers += 1;
}
else {
  uncorrectAnsewers += 1;
}

//Outputs rank and crown based on number of correct answers given.
if (correctAnswers === 5) {
  document.write("<h1> Congratulations! You have scored the maximum amount of of points and have been given a <bold>Gold crown.</bold> </h1>");
}
  else if (correctAnswers >= 3) {
    document.write("<h1> Congratulations! you have been given a <bold>Silver Crown.</bold> </h1>");
  }
  else if (correctAnswers >=2) {
    document.write("<h1> You've done allright, take this <bold>Bronze Crown as a appreaciation</bold> </h1>");
  }
else {
  document.write("<h1> You've failed the quiz, try again... </h1>");
}

//Result
document.write("<h2> You've scored " + correctAnswers + " answers correctly and made " + uncorrectAnsewers +" mistakes!</h2>");

Thanks in advance!

Another student posted a version of the same project just a few minutes ago that you could look at just for style comparison. But your code is fine as-is. :+1:

As I mentioned to the other poster, the focus of this course is general language syntax, vocabulary, and common control structures. Building code that performs correctly is your objective for now. Later courses will cover techniques for optimization.

Thank you, Steven!
