Cannot pass Task two but the code is OK

Task 1 passed ok, then arriving Task 2, I just added the conditional and alert when that one is true... I already tested this code on Chrome, even when the work is being checked the prompt appears and I fill the data and the logic occurs as described.

It is marked as wrong answer but with the following statement: Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing.

app.js 
var answer = prompt('What is the best programming language?');
if(answer.toLowerCase() === 'javascript'){
  alert("you are correct")
}

I agree that your code works, and is probably better than what they asked for, but they are only asking to check if the answer equals 'JavaScript'. So, omitting your .toLowerCase will satisfy the requirements.

var answer = prompt('What is the best programming language?');

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

Hello Ezequiel.

I think the problem is that the code challenge does not ask you to check against the lower version of the string. the check should simply be if answer equals to 'JavaScript'.

I thought I did in such way as well, but I tried your suggestions and now passed. Many thanks
