Simple if statement doesn't pass / issue with workspace?

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to pass the challenge of the Intro to conditional statements class. Task 1 passes, but then no matter what I do for task 2, I get the message "Oops, it looks like task 1 is no longer passing". Any help much appreciated! :)

var answer = prompt("What's the best programming language?");
if (answer.toUpperCase() === "JAVASCRIPT") { alert("You are correct"); }

Don't delete what you have done in task1

Don't overwrite task1

Hi, You don't need to uppercase the word JavaScript. But what you need is to do the comparison whith the way the Javascript word is typed in the instructions. Just this way: JavaScript, then It'll pass.

ex:

var answer = prompt("What's the best programming language?");

if (answer === "JavaScript") { 
  alert("You are correct"); 
}
