Javascript not working

This is the full code I got to work.

Hi Devin, I cant see what i am missing. All semi-colons are where they are supposed to be??

var name = prompt("What is your name"); var team = prompt("What is your favourite Football Team"); var wish = prompt("Type in a wish"); alert("All done. Are you ready for your story?");

var sentence = "There is a little boy called " + name + ".";

sentence += "All he ever wanted to do was to play for " + team ".";

sentence += "Then one day a genie appeared and granted him he a wish!"

sentence += " The little boy hought long and hard and then said to the genie for my wish I would like to " + wish;

document.write(sentence)

Like this

var name = prompt("What is your name");

var team = prompt("What is your favourite Football Team"); 

var wish = prompt("Type in a wish");

alert("All done. Are you ready for your story?"); <------ Here

var sentence = "There is a little boy called " + name + ".";

sentence += "All he ever wanted to do was to play for " + team ".";

sentence += "Then one day a genie appeared and granted him he a wish!"; <-------Right Here

sentence += " The little boy hought long and hard and then said to the genie for my wish I would like to " + wish;

document.write(sentence); <---- And Here

Devin,

I copied and pasted your code and delete <--------- comments but it still does bring up a prompt.

I tested it line by line and go as far as the line below before the prompt stopped working:

sentence += "All he ever wanted to do was to play for " + team ".";

Is it something to do with this line?/

Hey Devin,

Unrelated to the question but wow man you have some point achieved on treehouse. Can i just ask when did you start studying. I really enjoy coding but at times struggle with the thought that I am so far behind everyone that sometimes I feel like I am forever going to be playing catch up and I am never going to get there......as in getting a proper job in the internet industry. Just with bills n all to pay my wife say that I am wasting my always being on the computer!!

Have you found much work with the skills you have learned??? I am just learning these new skills because I enjoying learning about them. I am an accountant by trade but i just dont enjoy it!

Thanks again for your help

Noel

Hey, I actually have not found a job yet, this is not because coders are not needed, it's just that I have not been really looking yet. I have about 3 courses left on this website, once I finish them I plan on developing my own app and putting out for sale. You do not have to wait as long as I am now. Simply work hard on one programming language and master it. There are tons of job opportunities from selling apps on Google play to becoming a freelancer. As for how I started study, I actually found out from a math website that my school made me took called Kahn Academy. It had a free programming section where I did all of the courses. Later on we saw Treehouse on the bloomburg show, which is a tech talk show. I started on the course here of how to build a website with Nick Pettet. I spent a few hours everyday learning new stuff about code, and eventually got where I am at. Now I help people with their code because it also strengthens my knowledge. It's funny, even with as much coding iv'e done, I still never feel like iv'e learned enough. But that is how I started.

Hope this helps you Noel!

Devin, semi-colons are only relevant if the code is on the same line, although it is a best practice to use them for readability. If they are on different lines, you do not have to have a semi-colon:

//Valid code:
var name = "Marcus"; var favColor = "green";
//Also Valid, missing semicolon on end
var name = "Marcus"; var favColor = "green"
//Also Valid, no semicolons, on different lines
var name = "Marcus"
var favColor = "green"
//Also Valid, semicolons on both statements
var name = "Marcus";
var favColor = "green";

//Invalid code, no semicolons, on same line
var name = "Marcus" var favColor = "green"

Yes your very right Marcus, thanks for reminding me! I get so used to putting one it's like putting a period on the end of sentence.

It is definitely a best practice to keep the semi-colons on the end, but I just wanted to remind you that this is not an issue :P

Yes, it ended up being that he did not properly concatenate the team variable with the second sentence variable set.

Just addressing something so that students can continue to learn about valid and invalid statements. I saw that. Good find, Devin. Happy Coding!

Yes, thanks for the assisted help!

I think you are missing a plus sign after team:

sentence += "All he ever wanted to do was to play for " + team ".";

needs to be:

sentence += "All he ever wanted to do was to play for " + team + ".";

Your cracked it jason and so did Devin.....gurus the both of uz thanks. That was driving me nuts how it can all break down over one semi colon!!
