//Default Score var correct = 0;

//Quiz Questions var questionOne = prompt("What is the capital of Philippines?"); if (questionOne.toUpperCase() === "manila") { correct += 1; }

var questionTwo = prompt("What is the capital of Japan?"); if (questionTwo.toUpperCase() === "tokyo") { correct += 1; }

var questionThree = prompt("What is the capital of Thailand?"); if (questionThree.toUpperCase() === "bangkok") { correct += 1; }

var questionFour = prompt("What is the capital of Malaysia?"); if (questionFour.toUpperCase() === "kuala lumpur") { correct += 1; }

var questionFifth = prompt("What is the capital of Australia?"); if (questionFifth.toUpperCase() === "sydney") { correct += 1; }

//Output Results document.write("You got " + correct + " out of 5 questions correct. ");

Hi there! You're doing great, but you're taking the user's answer and then turning it to upper case then comparing it to the answer which is all in lower case.

Let's assume I'm answering question two, and I put in "Tokyo". Your code then turns my answer into "TOKYO" and asks if it's equal to "tokyo". Either you need to turn the user's answers into lower case or you need to compare to the upper case version of the answer.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
