Hi all I am doing the Conditional Statements introduction and my code works - i.e. the prompt box appears and then an alert pops up "saying you are correct". However it says that my answer to Task 1 is no longer passing (first line of code) and wont let me continue. Could anyone shed some light on this?
var answer = prompt("What is the best programming language?");
if (answer.toUpperCase() === "JAVASCRIPT") { alert("You are correct") }
