I 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!'); }

To invoke the method "toUpperCase", you must place parentheses after it, even though it doesn't take an argument.

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. :arrow_heading_down: And remember to skip a blank line before the code section.

Thank you Steven, that was it. I will take a look at the Markdown Cheatsheet, I'm new to posting questions.

Lets 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.

If the bronze medal is intended for 2 or 3 right answers, the code is correct.
