Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 15,928 PointsYou didn't construct your conditional statement properly. You're missing:
a full-stop to apply the 'toUpperCase' method to the 'answer' variable,
you didn't call the 'toUpperCase' method with a parenthesis(toUpperCase()),
a closing parenthesis after the test condition and,
a semi-colon at the end of the alert method.
if ( answer.toUpperCase() === ('Ruby')){
alert('you are correct');
}
As a bonus you don't need to wrap the string 'Ruby' in parenthesis, you can delete them.
