What is wrong with my code. It dosen't display in h2. If I'm removing h2 the script is running.

var sport = prompt('What is your favorite sport');
var answer = "<h2> sport + ' is your favorite sport. ';
var player = prompt('What is your favorite player');
var shot = prompt('And which is your favouritr shot');
alert('All done. Here are your result');
answer += player + ' is your favorite player. ';
answer += shot + ' is your favorite shot. </h2>";
document.write(answer);

Hi Reno Pahnke,

As you can see from my editing of your question to display the code in a more readable fashion, there is a closing quote missing in var answer. There should be a double quote directly after the <h2>. Furthermore, there should be a plus sign (+) following that, yet before sport.

//                v-- missing `" + `
var answer = "<h2> sport + ' is your favorite sport. ';

// Should be 
var answer = "<h2>" +  sport + ' is your favorite sport. ';

And

//               v-- single quote      ...     v-- double quote 
answer += shot + ' is your favorite shot. </h2>";

// Should be
answer += shot + ' is your favorite shot. </h2>';

TIP: Be careful when mixing single and double quotes and always be sure to close them when required.

Each string must have matched pairs of quotes, you have two lines with unmatched quotes. Here they are fixed:

var answer = '<h2>' + sport + ' is your favorite sport. ';
//...
answer += shot + ' is your favorite shot. </h2>';

Also, you might find it easier to keep track of the quotes if you always use the same kind, as I have done here.
