Not sure what I’m doing wrong. :(

It says, Bummer! Make sure you declare the answer variable with the var keyword. I don’t get it, this looks right to me.

app.js 
var anwser =  prompt("What is the best programming language?");
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>
