My program works for the most part but I tried to add an 'or' condition and it seems to not be working

Here is a piece of my code where I added the 'or' condition, but the it seems the user can enter anything (i.e. numbers or letters) for that question and it will still come out correct. Am I using it incorrectly? Thanks in advance:

//Question Four var questionFour = prompt("In Disneyland, which land Space Mountain located?") if (questionFour.toUpperCase()=== 'TOMORROW LAND' || 'TOMORROWLAND') { correctAnswers +=1
} else { alert("Nope! The correct answer is Tomorrow Land"); }

Your expression is incomplete, and a string that's not empty is considered "truthy".

A complete expression might look like this:

questionFour.toUpperCase() === 'TOMORROW LAND' || questionFour.toUpperCase() === 'TOMORROWLAND'
