3,008 PointsJavaScript Basics - Conditional Statements Challenge 1
For one reason or another, I seem to be getting an error whenever I submit my answer. Everything seems to work correctly in the browser window, so I am not sure why I am not passing this challenge. Here's my code:
var answer = prompt('What is the best programming language?'); if (answer === 'Javascript') { alert("You are correct"); }
Challenge Task 1 clears just fine, but Challenge Task 2 returns an error asking if I used the === operator to compare answer and the text string. Any help would be awesome!

I was missing that second capital S

I have changed your answer into a comment, this way you can mark it down as best answer and the question will be marked as resolved!
Good Spot, you were very quick in finding the bug!!

10,468 PointsSomething else to think about is this... there could be many answers to the question depending on how the person types it in.
Javascript, JavaScript, javascript, JAVASCRIPT, or js, etc.
So that's one thing you'll want to consider when you're programming something like this (and I think, if I remember correctly, the teacher goes over one way to solve this later on)... :)
