What's wrong with my Code?

I've typed the following code in, and not a single prompt shows up. What am I doing wrong?

var ansOne = prompt("What's 4 + 4");

var ansTwo = prompt("What's 2+2");

var ansThree = prompt("What's 9-4");

var ansFour = prompt("What's the Capital of Italy");

var ansFive = prompt("I'm greater than 3, less than 5");

var score = 0

if (parseInt(ansOne) === 8) { score += 1 }

if (parseInt(ansTwo) === 4) { score += 1 }

if (parseInt(ansThree) === 5) { score += 1 }

if (ansFour.toUpperCase === "ROME") { score += 1 }

if (parseFloat(ansFive) > 3 && parseFloat(ansFive) < 5) { score += 1 }

I tried your code and got all the prompts on chrome. You are missing a semicolon at the end of the line where you declare var score though. After answering all the questions, I typed 'score' in the console and got 4, so everything seems to work fine.

Hi! Please check this. toUpperCase() a function and after I use () . The end I use document.write . You wrote a good code.

var ansOne = prompt("What's 4 + 4");
var ansTwo = prompt("What's 2+2");
var ansThree = prompt("What's 9-4");
var ansFour = prompt("What's the Capital of Italy");
var ansFive = prompt("I'm greater than 3, less than 5");

var score = 0

if (parseInt(ansOne) === 8) { score += 1 }
if (parseInt(ansTwo) === 4) { score += 1 }
if (parseInt(ansThree) === 5) { score += 1 }
if (ansFour.toUpperCase() === "ROME") { score += 1 }
if (parseFloat(ansFive) > 3 && parseFloat(ansFive) < 5) { score += 1 }

document.write("You have " + score + " point(s) earned");
