It looks like task 1 is no longer working.
var answer
prompt('What is the best programming language?')
if(answer == JavaScript){
alert(You are correct);
}

Courses Plus Student 11,711 PointsYou are not storing the prompt in the answer variable. Also remember what Joel Bardsley has said about checking if the answer is equal to a string.

1,279 PointsI did the following: var answer prompt('What is the best programming language?') if(answer === JavaScript){ alert('You are correct'); }

Solved it! Thanks! Mayur Pande
Mayur Pande
Courses Plus Student 11,711 Pointsno problem, but from looking at your code it still seems wrong! Have you used the equals sign like so?
var answer = prompt('What is the best programming language?')
if(answer === 'JavaScript')
{
document.write('You are correct');
}
