Why is task 1 passing and not passing?

When I got to task 3 it says "Task 1 is no longer passing." yet I haven't changed a think is task one and when I go back to review it is tells me its passing. So what's going on here?

app.js 
var answer= prompt('What is the best programming language?');
if (answer.toUpperCase() === 'JAVASCRIPT'); {
 alert('You are correct!') 
} 
else {
  alert('JavaScript is the best language!');
}
