i wrote it like the solution and it still won't prompt

Hi! First: you can edit your post to format the code with proper indentation and syntax highlighting, like in my answer here. Click on the Markdown Cheatsheet link below the text box, there you'll find instructions!

There is a syntax error in your code, in the "Badges" section - a mistyped equal sign, and a closing parenthesis missing:

// you wrote  if (correct=+=5 {
if (correct === 5) {
    ...
}

Now it should work :)

This code work. note: if (correct=+=5 --> if (correct===5)

//quiz begins, no answers correct var correct= 0;

//Ask 5 questions var Question1= prompt('What language do they speak in Brazil?');

var Question2= prompt('What language do they speak in Spain besides Spanish?');

var Question3= prompt('What language do they speak in Portugal?');

var Question4= prompt('What language do they speak in Canada besides English?');

var Question5= prompt('What language do they speak in some parts of Haiti?');

//Correct corresponding answers

if (Question1.toUpperCase() === 'PORTUGUESE'){ correct +=1; } if (Question2.toUpperCase() === 'CATALAN'){ correct +=1; } if (Question3.toUpperCase() === 'PORTUGUESE'){ correct +=1; } if (Question4.toUpperCase() === 'FRENCH'){ correct +=1; } if (Question5.toUpperCase() === 'CREOLE'){ correct +=1; }

//Badges if (correct===5) { document.write('Congrats, you have earned the Gold Medal!'); } else if (correct>=3){ document.write('Congrats, you have earned the Silver Medal!'); } else if (correct>=1) { document.write('Congrats, you have earned the Bronze Medal!'); } else { document.write('Sorry, you earned no badge.'); }

I think the instructor made a mistake too even if you put exactly what he did. On his first question he correctly put

toUpperCase()

For the following questions the instructor put

toUpperCase 

I did this as well, and it wouldn't run either.

Gyorgy is correct. Once you fix the syntax error in the "Badges" section, your code runs fine. Again, that would be replacing "=+=" with "===" and adding the closing parenthesis.
