515 PointsI am getting an unexpected token else on line 30 of my code. I don't see what the problem is, can anyone point it out?
//number of answers correct
var correct = 0;
// here are the 5 questions
var question1 = prompt("True or false, school begins at 8:00 am?");
if(question1.toUpperCase() === "TRUE") {
correct += 1;
}
var question2 = prompt("What period is 8th grade lunch?");
if(question2 === "7th") {
correct += 1;
}
var question3 = prompt("What time do we get to school?");
if(question3 === "7:45") {
correct += 1;
}
var question4 = prompt("What time do we go home?");
if(question4 === "4:15") {
correct += 1;
}
var question5 = prompt("What is my favorite day?");
if(question5.toUpperCase() === "SATURDAY") {
correct += 1;
}
document.write("Congratulations, you finished the quiz! You got " + correct + " answers correct!");
// awarding the crowns
if(correct === 5); {
document.write("Congratulations, you get the gold crown!")
} else if (correct === 4 || correct === 3) {
document.write("Good job, you get the silver crown!")
} else if (correct === 1 || correct === 2); {
document.write("Well done, you get the bronze crown!")
} else {
document.write("Try again next time.")

19,870 PointsYou've got 2 semi-colons that shouldn't be there
// awarding the crowns
if(correct === 5); { // Remove semi-colon
document.write("Congratulations, you get the gold crown!")
} else if (correct === 4 || correct === 3) {
document.write("Good job, you get the silver crown!")
} else if (correct === 1 || correct === 2); { // Remove semi-colon
document.write("Well done, you get the bronze crown!")
} else {
document.write("Try again next time.")
