Neep help. "Add a conditional statement that opens an alert dialog box with the message..."

I'm not sure what I am missing. Any help? Thanks!

"Add a conditional statement that opens an alert dialog box with the message "You are correct" when the answer is the string 'JavaScript'."

app.js 
var answer = prompt ('What is the best programming language?')
if ( answer === 'JavaScript' )
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

It looks like you have a good conditional statement.

Now you just need to call the "alert" function and pass it the message you want shown as the argument.
