Hi Benoit,

it's already looking good. But if you use the toUpperCase function you have to write -- answer.toUpperCase() - here you forgot the dot after answer. 

if ( answer.toUpperCase() === 'RUBY')

If you use toUpperCase you write your entire input string capital, so your answer string must also be capital for the condition to be true.

I hope I was able to help you. - Phil
