Hi Niels,

Looks like you've spelt 'alert' incorrectly. Also, from what I can see in the code at least, you've not covered the requirements for task 2. See below:

var answer = prompt("What is the best programming language?");

if (answer === "JavaScript") {
  alert("You are correct");
} else {
  alert("JavaScript is the best language");
}

You're doing great, keep going!

Dave.

var answer = prompt("what is the best programing language");
if ( answer === JavaScript ) { // please check, if this how you compare a string, shouldn't it be in quotes
  aler('You are correct') // check spelling on alert
}
