2 right answers of 5 ... No matter if I answer all 5 correct!

Hello everybody, hope somebody can spot the issue... No matter if I answer the all 5 questions correct, I got a "bronze medal" because I answered 2 of 5 questions correct ...

Answers are as follows:

  1. Merida
  2. Aries
  3. Sebastian
  4. Cancun
  5. Javascript

Thanks in advance!!

// inicia el cuestionario, no hay respuestas correctas - dejamos el marcador en cero
var marcador = 0;

// hacemos las preguntas
var pregunta1 = prompt("En que estado esta Merida?");
if (pregunta1.toUpperCase() === 'MERIDA') {
marcador += 1;
}

var pregunta2 = prompt("Cual es el nombre de tu mascota?");
if (pregunta2.toUpperCase() === 'ARIES') {
marcador += 1;
}

var pregunta3 = prompt("Como se llama tu hijo?");
if (pregunta3.toUpperCase === 'SEBASTIAN') {
marcador += 1;
}

var pregunta4 = prompt("En que ciudad vives?");
if (pregunta4.toUpperCase === 'CANCUN') {
marcador += 1;
}

var pregunta5 = prompt("Con que programa hiciste esto?");
if (pregunta5.toUpperCase() === 'JAVASCRIPT') {
marcador += 1;
}

// damos resultados 

document.write("<p>Tienes " + marcador + " de 5 respuestas correctas!</p>");


// mostramos recompensa

if (marcador === 5) {
document.write("<p><strong>Ganaste medalla de oro!</strong></p>");
} else if (marcador >= 3) {
document.write("<p><strong>Ganaste medalla de plata!</strong></p>");
} else if (marcador >= 1) {
document.write("<p><strong>Ganaste medalla de bronce!</strong></p>");
} else {
document.write("<p><strong>No hay medalla para ti. Necesitas estudiar mas!</strong></p>");
}

Hi Santos,

Looks like you have two function calls of .toUpperCase() that are missing parentheses.

// pregunta3.toUpperCase
// pregunta4.toUpperCase

Hope this helps,

Cheers

Thanks a lot Robert! I appreciate your help, I'm getting closer this time got a silver medal =) will keep pushing for the gold! Even though I tried to find "errors" in js console but it didn't throw me what you saw ... Felt a bit dissapointed thought JS Console was helpful with this type of "newbie" errors. Anyway thank you!!

Interesting. I'm getting

Tienes 5 de 5 respuestas correctas!

Ganaste medalla de oro!

The console will let you know when there's a syntax error, but leaving off the parens in this case is not a syntax error. It returns the function definition of toUpperCase instead of the upper case value of marcador.

Here is the fixed code, you should be able to copy / paste it into the developer console to run it and verify the fix.

// inicia el cuestionario, no hay respuestas correctas - dejamos el marcador en cero
var marcador = 0;

// hacemos las preguntas
var pregunta1 = prompt("En que estado esta Merida?");
if (pregunta1.toUpperCase() === 'MERIDA') {
marcador += 1;
}

var pregunta2 = prompt("Cual es el nombre de tu mascota?");
if (pregunta2.toUpperCase() === 'ARIES') {
marcador += 1;
}

var pregunta3 = prompt("Como se llama tu hijo?");
if (pregunta3.toUpperCase() === 'SEBASTIAN') {
marcador += 1;
}

var pregunta4 = prompt("En que ciudad vives?");
if (pregunta4.toUpperCase() === 'CANCUN') {
marcador += 1;
}

var pregunta5 = prompt("Con que programa hiciste esto?");
if (pregunta5.toUpperCase() === 'JAVASCRIPT') {
marcador += 1;
}

// damos resultados 

document.write("<p>Tienes " + marcador + " de 5 respuestas correctas!</p>");

if (marcador === 5) {
document.write("<p><strong>Ganaste medalla de oro!</strong></p>");
} else if (marcador >= 3) {

} else if (marcador >= 1) {
document.write("<p><strong>Ganaste medalla de bronce!</strong></p>");
} else {

I know, I just realized answer for question one was "wrong" in my code, so instead of Merida was typing "Yucatan" whis is ACTUALLY the right answer! =( I guess is time for a coffee to wake up!! Thank you very much Robert for taking the time to test it on your side!

I just realized that in the video solution, the instructor makes the same common mistake. Maybe it should be corrected. :)))
