I keep getting this error--help. ( Bummer! You didn't put 'What day is it? in the `prompt()` function.)

var answer=prompt("what day is it?")

scripts.js 
var answer=prompt("what day is it?");

Ah,it's a very small mistake all you need to do is capitalize the W in "what day is it?" Like as shown here

var answer=prompt("What day is it?"); //That's all you need to do to pass,it was a tiny mistake but you have to be specific

TH can be pretty strict when completing challenges. It's asking for What day is it? — notice the capitalization. I suggest following the instructions to a tee.
