10,730 PointsI have typed in the conditional statement just as it asks but it is telling me there is a syntax error?
My code is as follows:
var answer = prompt("What is the best programming language?"); If ( answer === 'JavaScript') { alert("You are correct"); }
var answer = prompt('What is the best programming language?');
If ( answer === "JavaScript" ) {

}
