When I try to run the JavaScript nothing happens, not sure what the issue is?

The following shows my code:

// quiz begins, no answers correct var correct = 0;

//ask questions var answer1 = prompt("Name a programming language that's also a gem"); if (answer1.toUpperCase() === 'RUBY'){ correct += 1; } var answer2 = prompt("Name a programming language that's also a snake"); if (answer2.toUpperCase === 'PYTHON') { correct += 1; } var answer3 = prompt("What language do you use to style web pages?"); if (answer3.toUpperCase === 'CSS') { correct += 1;

var answer4 = prompt("What language do you use to build the structure of web pages?"); if (answer4.toUpperCase === 'HTML') { correct += 1; } var answer5 = prompt("What language do you use to add interactivity to a web pages?"); if(answer5.toUpperCase === 'JAVASCRIPT') { correct += 1; }

// output results document.write("<p> You got "+ correct + " out of 5 questions correct.<p.");

//output rank if (correct === 5) { document.write("<p><strong>You earned a gold crown!</strong></p>"); } else if ( correct>= 3) { document.write("<p><strong>You earned a silver crown.</strong></p>"); } else if ( correct>= 1) { document.write("<p><strong>You earned a bronze crown.</strong></p>"); } else { document.write("<p><strong>No Crown</strong></p>"); }

  1. you have commented few codelines : line 1, 3, 13, 15.
  2. at line 13 you forgot to add a quote mark ".
  3. at line 6 you forgot to close the if command by } curly braces
  4. except that everything was perfect! 
// quiz begins, no answers correct 
var correct = 0;


var answer1 = prompt("Name a programming language that's also a gem");
if (answer1.toUpperCase() === 'RUBY'){
  correct += 1; 
} 
var answer2 = prompt("Name a programming language that's also a snake");
if (answer2.toUpperCase === 'PYTHON') {
  correct += 1; 
}
var answer3 = prompt("What language do you use to style web pages?"); 
if (answer3.toUpperCase === 'CSS') {
  correct += 1;}

var answer4 = prompt("What language do you use to build the structure of web pages?"); 
  if (answer4.toUpperCase === 'HTML') {
    correct += 1;
  }
  var answer5 = prompt("What language do you use to add interactivity to a web pages?"); if(answer5.toUpperCase === 'JAVASCRIPT')
  { correct += 1; }

// output results 
document.write(" You got "+ correct + " out of 5 questions correct.");

//output rank 
if (correct === 5) 
{ document.write("You earned a gold crown!"); } 
else if ( correct>= 3)
{ 
document.write("You earned a silver crown."); 
} 
else if ( correct>= 1) { 
document.write("You earned a bronze crown.");
} 
else {
  document.write("No Crown"); 
}```
