Your question isn't currently linked to a treehouse challenge. If you post a URL, then people can test out the code. What you wrote works fine in the browser. Without knowing the challenge, I can only suggest making sure that the alert message precisely matches what the challenge requests. Occasionally, people change the case or omit punctuation (e.g. trailing full stops or exclamation marks).

If you're doing https://teamtreehouse.com/library/javascript-basics/hello-javascript/write-javascript-statements , then it might accept 

console.log("Begin program");
alert("I am Programming!");

for challenge 3.

Thanks for the response Simon. Actually forgot to use an exclammation mark within the sentence in the alert message. will also certainly add a link to my question next time. Thanks again.

You shouldn't need a link. It's possible (somehow) to post a question so that it's automatically attached to the challenge, quiz or video that caused it (and treehouse generates a link). If it doesn't work, then a URL is a decent fallback to let people work out what the question refers to.
