Show your code.

Code

Wrap your code with 3 backticks (```) on the line before and after. If you specify the language after the first set of backticks, that'll help us with syntax highlighting.

      ```html
      <p>This is code!</p>
      ```

or

You can use the snapshot function in the workspace and provide the link to that.

//ultimate Quiz var correct = 0

//First Question var question1 = prompt('What is New Jersey State Capitol?');

if ( question1.toUpperCase === 'TRENT' ){ correct += 1; } else { document.write('wrong'); }

i figured out the last issue but now this one, i just don't understand regardless of what i type as an input "TRENT" or trent or even "nonsense", the output comes back as wrong (my else statement) please help!

Your code is good. This is the good way. You misspelled the document.write(). Please fixed your document.write.

docmument.write(adjective);

change to

document.write(adjective);

Delete the + m.

Of course! :) You can use the snapshot function in the workspace and provide the link to that.

There were many minor mistakes in it. Now I've fixed it but please look over my solution. First, after toUpperCase() method I use (). Second, after the "if" statement I don't use semicolons. For example:

  if ( question2.toUpperCase === 'GSP');{
    correct += 1; 
  }

And I deleted it

  if ( question2.toUpperCase() === 'GSP'){
    correct += 1; 
  }

Third, I think the first alert is unnecessary, but if you want to use then use it. Fourth, inside the //output ranking I deleted the last else conditons. We don't use condition inside the last closing else. Finally, after the last two document.write you write <strong><p></strong></p> but the good way is the <p><strong></strong></p>. 

//ultimate Quiz
var correct = 0

//First Question
var question1 = prompt('What is New Jersey State Capitol?');
  if ( question1.toUpperCase() === 'TRENT' ){
   correct += 1;

 }
 //second Quest.
var question2 = prompt('What highway is named after NewJerseys nickname?');
  if ( question2.toUpperCase() === 'GSP'){
    correct += 1; 
  }
//3rd Quest.
var question3 = prompt('What highway runs from North to South Jersey?');
  if ( question3.toUpperCase() === 'NJTP'){
    correct += 1;
  }
//output.
document.write('<p>your score is ' + correct + ' of 3</p>');


//output Ranking
if ( correct === 3 ){
    document.write("<p><strong>you earned a Gold Star</strong></p>");
} else if (correct === 2 ){
    document.write("<p><strong>silver star</strong></p>");
}else {
    document.write('<p><strong>MAN YOU NOT FROM NJ</strong></p>');
}

Please check if...else statement syntax, and how work toUpperCase() method. Hope this help.
