My code var answer = prompt("What is the best programming language?");
if ( answer ==='Javascript' ) { alert("You are correct");}
var answer = prompt("What is the best programming language?");

9,116 PointsAdd a conditional statement that opens an alert dialog box with the message "You are correct" when the answer contains the string 'JavaScript'
That is what they asked and what I have put in my code. Its Javascript with a capital J.
I am also getting the desired output.
