Unexpected token Illegal? What does this mean?

This is how my code looks like:

var questions = 3; var questionsLeft = ' [' + questions + ' questions left]'; var adjective = prompt('Please type an adjective' + questionsLeft); questions -= 1; questionsLeft = ' [' + questions + ' questions left]'; var verb = prompt('Please type a verb' + questionsLeft ); questions -= 1; questionsleft = ' [' + questions + ' questions left]'; var noun = prompt('Please type a noun' + questionsLeft); questions -= 1; questionsleft = ' [' + questions + ' questions left]'; alert('All done. Ready for the message?'); var sentence = "<h2>There once was a " + adjective; sentence += ' programmer who wanted to use Javascript to ' + verb; sentence += ' the ' + noun + '.</h2>'; document.write(sentence);

I am not using workspace but another workspace website and after putting that all in, it says "Unexpected token illegal". Anyone know what this means and what the problem is??

Hi Jason,

I executed your code in "Codepen.io" and it ran successfully. There is no issue in the code.

can you try in it.

Thanks, Aishu
