8,540 PointsMy quiz code is not working!
var correct=0;
var answer1= prompt("Name a programming language that's also a gem"); if(answer1.toUpperCase()==='RUBY'){ correct +=1; } var answer2= prompt("Name a programming language that's also a snake"); if(answer2.toUpperCase()==='PYTHON'){ correct += 1; }
var answer3= prompt("What language do you use to style webpages?"); if(answer3.toUpperCase()==='CSS'){ correct += 1; } var answer4= prompt("What language do you use to make the structure of the webpages?"); if(answer4.toUpperCase()==='HTML'){ correct += 1; } var answer5= prompt("What language do you use to add interactivity to webpages?"); if(answer5.toUpperCase()==='JAVASCRIPT'){ correct += 1; }
document.write("<p>Well. You got " + correct + " out of 5 questions correct.</p>");
Until this my code is working. But when I write the if else clause my quiz is no longer showing dialogue boxes.
if(correct === 5 ){ document.write("<p>You have earned a gold crown.Congrats.</p>"); } else if(correct >= 3 ){ document.write("<p><strong>You have earned a silver crown.Congrats.</p></strong>"); } else if(correct >= 1 ){ document.write("<p><strong>You have earned a bronz crown.Good luck next time.</p></strong>"); } else (correct === 0){ document.write("<p><strong>Sorry you did not pass. Try again!</p></strong>"); }
Would you please help me here.

16,594 Pointsalso to get your code to display nicely use:
three back tics (backtic is the charecter below ~ on the keyboard) JavaScript (skip down a line) //code goes here
three more back tics
then it will look like this
alert("I look much better");

5,601 PointsIt seems it works fine in my browser, but you need to fix your else statement. You wrote else (correct ===0) and this condition is redundant since in previous else if statement you compared correct >=1, so 0 is the only option left. Hope this will help you!
