If condition not working

I used this if condition but it ain't working

alert("Here we go");
var agree = prompt("Are you ready?");
console.log("Variable created");
if (agree.toUpperCase === "YES" || agree.toUpperCase === "Y") {
  // Quiz code
  console.log("Hello");
  alert("Condition passed");
}else {
alert("Okay. Refresh the page if you change your mind.");
}

toUpperCase is a function. To call a function, you have to include the parentheses () after it, whether you are passing arguments or not. Without the parentheses, you are just naming the function.

Mistakes are not stupid. They are valuable learning opportunities. :smile:

Speaking of mistakes, ignore what I said about "YES", I was thinking you were just checking the first letter.
