Hi royal, which part of "Add a conditional statement that opens an alert dialog box with the message "You are correct" when the answer is the string 'JavaScript'." do you need help with:

  • Add a conditional statement
  • opens an alert dialog box with the message "You are correct"
  • when the answer is the string 'JavaScript'."

For this you want to write an if statement looking at the string stored in answer. Inside the if block is where you call the alert() function with the message "You are correct"

if (answer === 'JavaScript) { alert("You are correct); }
