this is exactly what he's asked to write.

the instructor said that you must have the document.write command to give the message that you are correct?

app.js 
var answer= prompt("what is the best programming language?");
   if (answer==="Javascript" {
       "You are correct"); }
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="app.js"></script>

No! You forget the closing bracket of if() statement. And you forget the alert() dialog. Until your problem isn't resolve, please use one topic/question.

There you go include the the string inside the the conditional like this 

alert( "You are correct" );  // hopefully that will help you.
