Not sure what's wrong. I am getting zero point every time I answer all my questions. Can anyone tell me what;s wrong

<script type="application/javascript">

      var correct = 0;
      var answer1 = prompt("What is a language like to GEM");
        if (answer1.toUpperCase === "RUBY") {
            correct +=1;
        }
      var answer2 = prompt("What language styles a web page");
        if (answer2.toUpperCase === "CSS") {
            correct +=1;
        }
      var answer3 = prompt("What Language add interactivity to a web page");
        if (answer3.toUpperCase === "JAVASCRIPT") {
            correct +=1;
        }
      var answer4 = prompt("What is the most recent flavor of HTML");
        if (answer4.toUpperCase === "HTML5") {
            correct +=1;
        }

//ouput results document.write("<p>You got " + correct + " Out of 4 questions correct.<p>");

// output rank if (correct === 4) { document.write("You earned gold crown"); } else if (correct >= 3) { document.write("You earned silver crown"); }else if (correct >= 1) { document.write("You earned one point only. Prepare next time"); }

</script>

:point_right: When invoking a method, you must put parentheses after the method name.

For example:

        if (answer1.toUpperCase() === "RUBY") {

yeah, there's actually a mistake in his example. He only places the parenthesis after the first .toUpperCase () example.
