I believe this is correct, I'm also getting the alert to display correctly. But it is saying I'm wrong.

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

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

Hello Justin!

I see a little tricky typo in your if statement, I am pretty sure you can spot it as well! Focus on what you are checking!

I see it, too. It's funny how missing just one thing can mess up your whole script. :)
