The string "jasmine" and the string "Jasmine" are different.

Notice the uppercase "J" and the lowercase "j". JavaScript is case-sensitive, meaning that lowercase letters aren't the same thing as uppercase letters.

Also, to make your program simpler, you can remove the player = "jasmine" line of code. You've already made the player variable with the value of "jasmine".

Happy coding!

I hope this helps
