Hi Kim Dallas,

It is asking you to add an else statement at the end of the if statement and to display an alert box with the text "JavaScript is the best language!"

var answer = prompt("What is the best programming language?");

if(answer === "JavaScript"){
    alert('You are correct')
}else{
    alert('JavaScript is the best language!')
}
