There is a bug in the provided challenge solution

In the JavaScript Basics Conditional Challenge there is a bug in the code provided to download. The original code is like this:

// output rank if ( correct === 5 ) { document.write("<p><strong>You earned a gold crown!</strong></p>");
} else if (correct > 3) { document.write("<p><strong>You earned a silver crown.</strong></p>");
} else if (correct > 2) { document.write("<p><strong>You earned a bronze crown.</strong></p>");
} else { document.write("<p><strong>No crown for you. You need to study.</strong></p>"); }

I think it should be like this:

if ( correct === 5 ) { document.write("<p><strong>You earned a gold crown!</strong></p>");
} else if (correct > 2) { document.write("<p><strong>You earned a silver crown.</strong></p>");
} else if (correct > 0) { document.write("<p><strong>You earned a bronze crown.</strong></p>");
} else { document.write("<p><strong>No crown for you. You need to study.</strong></p>"); }

Good catch!

:point_right: The correct answer (functionally equivalent to yours) is shown in the video:

if ( correct === 5 ) { 
    document.write("<p><strong>You earned a gold crown!</strong></p>");
} else if (correct >= 3) { 
    document.write("<p><strong>You earned a silver crown.</strong></p>");
} else if (correct >= 1) { 
    document.write("<p><strong>You earned a bronze crown.</strong></p>");
} else { 
    document.write("<p><strong>No crown for you. You need to study.</strong></p>"); 
}

But as you noticed, the download is different.

Postings here, particlularly those without links or tags (like this one), might not be seen by the staff. I recommend you follow the bug report procedure on the Support page.
