Question about one of the code challenges for Javascript Basics?

I'm having an issue with one of the code challenges for Javascript Basics: "Introducing Conditional Statements." I used the code the teacher gave us, and successfully tested my answer in the workspace multiple times. However I'm still getting a wrong answer.

Can you post your code? In the challenges, your code may very well give you a result that works, but it's not what the challenge is actually asking you to do.

If you are running into problems on challenge task 2 then it might be your spelling of JavaScript. Make sure the S is capitalized along with the J.

But like Dan said above, it is hard to tell the problem you are running into without an example of your code.

Hey Jennifer,

An excellent way to ask a question regarding the lesson exercises is to ask the question from the Challenge page itself. There is a "Get Help" button that automatically tags your question and uploads your code and makes it easier for students to ask concise questions.

Hope this helps!

I want to add that I don't think there are any bugs left in the basic codes. You can find them in new releases. Consider the number of students who have passed the course. Any bugs have almost certainly been discovered by now.

True, I went through the exercise and it seems to work just fine, but the forum is still the best way to alert anyone of a bug.

Thanks for your help, everyone!! (This is my first time posting a question, and I didn't see a prompt to upload my screenshot.)

But it's all good - Christian, you were right!! It was my spelling of JavaScript (forgot the capitalization of the S).

Thanks, guys!! :)
