1,388 PointsI keep receiving 0 questions right, but I believe the code is correct?
var customer = 0;
var questionOne = prompt('Where is the greatest place to live?'); if ( questionOne.toUpperCase === 'SOUTH HERO' ) { customer += 1; } var questionTwo = prompt('What is the best programming language?'); if ( questionTwo.toUpperCase === 'JAVASCRIPT') { customer += 1; } var questionThree = prompt('What day is it today?'); if ( questionThree.toUpperCase === 'MONDAY' ) { customer += 1; } var questionFour = prompt('Where does Kyle Live?'); if ( questionFour.toUpperCase === 'DENVER') { customer += 1; } var questionFive = prompt("Is today alsmot over?"); if ( questionFive.toUpperCase === 'YES') { customer += 1; } if (customer === 5) { console.log( 'You got ' + customer + ' right' + ' and you receive a Gold Medal'); } else if (customer > 3) { console.log( 'You got ' + customer + ' right' + ' and you receive a Silver Medal'); } else if (customer > 1) { console.log( 'You got ' + customer + ' right' + ' and you receive a Bronze Medal'); } else { console.log('You got ' + customer + ' questions right!'); }

Example:
if ( questionOne.toUpperCase() === 'SOUTH HERO' ) {
You will need to fix this on each of the 5 questions.
Also, when posting code please use the instructions in the Markdown Cheatsheet pop-up link below. And remember to skip a blank line before the code section.

Courses Plus Student 6,497 PointsLets look at your if statements:
if (customer === 5) { console.log( 'You got ' + customer + ' right' + ' and you receive a Gold Medal'); } else if (customer > 3) { console.log( 'You got ' + customer + ' right' + ' and you receive a Silver Medal'); } else if (customer > 1) { console.log( 'You got ' + customer + ' right' + ' and you receive a Bronze Medal'); } else { console.log('You got ' + customer + ' questions right!'); } You need to change if (customer > 1) to include the number 1 & 2. Here you only are catching 2. Clue: use ||
If you cant figure it out I will help you with the rest...try it out first.
