if(answer==JavaScript)
Javascript is written as of its a variable, which you have not declared. If you want to compare you answer (which is a string stored within a variable) to a string, you should put Javascript within quotation marks.
if (answer == "JavaScript") should solve your problem.
Enjoy learning!

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 12,902 PointsYou did forget to put JavaScript in a string, also remember that it is case sensitive, so typing in javascript instead of JavaScript in the prompt will ruslt in not passing.
This code should do it.
var answer = prompt("whts your favorit language?").toLowerCase();
if(answer== "javascript"){
alert("you are correct");
}
