Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing. error message keeps on appearing even though the answer is right.

In one of my conditional statement quiz. I keep on getting this error, "Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing" even though my code is giving the expected result. Is this some kind of bug or am I doing something wrong?

app.js 
var answer = prompt('What is the best programming language?');
var answer = prompt('What is the best programming language?');

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

Your problem is probably that you're declaring and assigning the answer variable twice. Just delete one of those lines, and it'll probably be good. Try this:

//You only need one of these lines
var answer = prompt('What is the best programming language?');

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

I removed it already but still the alert message is showing up. Maybe i'll just skip this exercise for now. Thanks for the response.
