Having trouble following along in the workspace

I am following along and typing out the code the teacher has in the video, but when I input the number of HTML and CSS badges I have, the console won't calculate it after. The teacher inputs '10' and '5' to get 105, but I get nothing.

Here is my code:

var htmlBadges = prompt('How many HTML badges do you have?');
var cssBadges = prompt('How many CSS badges do you have?');
var totalBadges = htmlBadges + cssBages;
alert('Wow! You have ' + totalBadges + ' badges');

Hi there, Paul! You're doing great, but you have a teensy typo that is causing a syntax error. In one place you misspelled "Badges".

You wrote:

// note cssBages
var totalBadges = htmlBadges + cssBages;

But you meant to write:

// note cssBadges with a "d" in the middle
var totalBadges = htmlBadges + cssBadges;

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
