:point_right: Easy, just pass the variable with the question as the argument to prompt:

var msg = "What question would you like to ask?";
var answer = prompt(msg);

Hi, thanks for reply..... actually i was asking about how to pass stored value in prompt string and i figured it out..

var msg = prompt("What question would you like to ask?");
var msg1 =prompt( "your question is " + msg + "right?";)
var answer = prompt(msg1);
