I tried double-checking my code against the video, and I haven't found an error yet. It takes me all the way through the quiz, but it tells me I got 0 answers right even though I answered all 5 correctly. Help?

1,102 Pointsdid you use the .toUpperCase ? Make sure your else if statements are correctly set, thats what was wrong with my code. Hopefully you figure it out!

1,102 Points// quiz begins, no answers correct var correct = 0;
// ask questions var questionOne = prompt("What is the color of a school bus?"); if(questionOne.toUpperCase() === "YELLOW" ) { correct += 1; } var questionTwo = prompt("How do you say hello in spanish?"); if(questionTwo.toUpperCase() === "HOLA") { correct += 1; } var questionThree = prompt("What is the best programming language?"); if(questionThree.toUpperCase() === "JAVASCRIPT") { correct += 1; }
// output Results document.write("<p>You have gotten</p>" + correct + "<p> out of 3 questions.</p>");
// output Rank if(correct === 3) { document.write("<p>Congrats you have earned a golden crown!</p>"); } else if(correct === 2) { document.write("<p>Congrats you have earned a silver crown!</p>"); } else if(correct === 1) { document.write("<p>Congrats you have earned a bronze crown!</p>"); } else { document.write("<p>Oops you have gotten no correct answers, try again!</p>"); }
// Very basic quiz but it runs, hopefully this helps!

7,427 PointsMake sure you put .toUpperCase(). The video's code is missing the () at the end of .toUpperCase in all but the first answer so it is the only one gathering your input and assigning it back to the variable. Thus none of your other answers are being stored so it looks like you only got the first question correct. Hope this helped.
