Here's my code: for some reason it says "incorrect" when I put in the right answer. Anyone see the problem?

Hi! So for this quiz it's all working well except for deciding whether a questions is right or false. for example:

var answer1 = prompt("What color is the sky?") if (answer1.toUpperCase === "BLUE") { alert("Correct!"); correct += 1; } else { alert("Sorry, that's incorrect."); }

I have tried answering this question with "Blue" "blue" and "BLUE" and none of them work. I get "Sorry that is incorrect" every time. Where did I go wrong in my code?

Thank you very much!

Looks like you just missed some parentheses, toUpperCase is a method call.

var answer1 = prompt("What color is the sky?")
if (answer1.toUpperCase() === "BLUE") {  // On this line, make sure you've got () after toUpperCase!
  alert("Correct!");
  correct += 1;
} else {
  alert("Sorry, that's incorrect.");
}

Absolutely! It's super easy to make typos or leave little stuff like that out. Happy coding!
