(Javascript/IF statements/Task2:Challenge2/3) Code is fine but error 'Task 1 is not no longer passing' is stopping me??

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

if (answer.toUpperCase() === 'JAVASCRIPT') { alert('You are correct'); }

else { alert ('nah m8'); };

Yet keep getting: "Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing."

Task 1 is to write a variable called answer that prompts the user with the above question.. Ok'd before I wrote the IF statement.. suddenly it's not 'working'..?

Any help?

If the challenge is "Making Decisions with Conditional Statements" -> "Introducting Conditional Statements"

Can you try like this one below:

var answer = prompt('What is the best programming language?');
if (answer === 'JavaScript')
{
  alert("You are correct");
}
else
{
   alert("JavaScript is the best language!");
}
