Why does this code always print correct even if i don't fill in the prompt?

let quiz2 = prompt('name at least one of my brothers name') if (quiz2 === 'filip' || 'hector'){ alert('correct') } else { alert('wrong!'); }

This is a much better formating.

var = 1;

You use it without the /

/```javascript

/```

It's because the if statement is missing what to test "hector" against. It needs to be more specific, like this.

if (quiz2 ===  'filip' || quiz2 ===  'hector')

Then it should work.
