I can't get my scorekeeper to work with this program. Please review my code. I may be mixing up C# and JavaScript.

var correctAnswers = 0;

var answer1 = prompt("What is Allison's favorite color?"); if (answer1.toUpperCase === "PINK") { correctAnswers += 1; console.log('Correct Answers = ' + correctAnswers); } var answer2 = prompt("What is Allison's favorite animal?"); if (answer2.toUpperCase === "MANATEE") { correctAnswers += 1; console.log('Correct Answers = ' + correctAnswers); } var answer3 = prompt("What is Allison's favorite breed of dog?"); if (answer3.toUpperCase === "CORGI") { correctAnswers += 1; console.log('Correct Answers = ' + correctAnswers); } var answer4 = prompt("What is Allison's favorite cocktail?"); if (answer4.toUpperCase === "BLOODY MARY") { correctAnswers += 1; console.log('Correct Answers = ' + correctAnswers); } var answer5 = prompt("What is Allison's favorite food?"); if (answer5.toUpperCase === "SUSHI") { correctAnswers += 1; console.log('Correct Answers = ' + correctAnswers); }

if (correctAnswers === 5) { alert("You've gotten " + correctAnswers + " questions right and have earned a gold crown!"); } else if (correctAnswers === 4 || correctAnswers === 3) { alert("You've gotten " + correctAnswers + " questions right and have earned a silver crown!");
} else if (correctAnswers === 2 || correctAnswers === 1) { alert("You've gotten " + correctAnswers + " questions right and have earned a bronze crown!"); } else { alert("You've gotten " + correctAnswers + " questions right and have earned no crown!"); }

Hi, problem is that you didn't properly call your toUpperCase function.

Try that:

answer1.toUpperCase() === "PINK";
