I've been over my code over and over again. As I get to task 3, task one doesn't work anymore and I can't see why?
var answer = prompt("What is the best programming language?");
if (answer==="JavaScript"); {
alert("you are correct");
} else {
alert("JavaScript is the best language!");
}

It might be because of the semicolon you have on this line:
if (answer==="JavaScript"); {
It's not needed -- just type the following:
if (answer === "JavaScript") {
The semicolon is used to end a statement, so the JavaScript interpreter is probably getting confused.
I hope this helps! :-)
