Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing.

I have made no change to line 1, the occurred earlier in my Chrome browser and I ended up with a communication error on my other computer. Came to this one and Chrome also had a communication error. I am now on Firefox and I have the beginning of the same issue. Causing me to think there is an issue on your end.

app.js 
var answer = prompt('What is the best programming language?');

If (answer = 'JavaScript') {
  alert("You are correct");
}
