2,402 PointsOperators not adding to correct answer variable
As far as i can tell my code is set up (so far) similar to that in the solution video but when I preview correct ans is always equal to 1, regardless of correct answers.
var correctAns = 0; var weight = prompt("what is my weight?"); if (weight === '135') { correctAns +=1; } var meal = prompt("What is my favorite meal?"); if (meal.toUpperCase === "CHICKEN PARMESEAN") { correctAns +=1; } var weed = prompt ("I like weed?"); if (weed.toUpperCase === "yes") { correctAns +=1; } var home = prompt ("My homestate is Texas?"); if (home.toUpperCase === "yes") { correctAns +=1; } var game = prompt ("I like video games?"); if (game.toUpperCase === "yes") { correctAns +=1; } document.write("<p> You got " + correctAns + "answers correct<p>");

229,788 PointsWhen you call a function or method, you must put parentheses after the name even if no arguments are being passed. Also, if you convert a string to upper case, it will only match a literal string that is also upper case.
Examples:
if (home.toUpperCase === "yes") // method not invoked and wrong case to match
if (home.toUpperCase() === "YES") // correct

remember to add () after the .toUpperCase method
