What you are asking in your conditional statement is if the answer converted to uppercase is equal to 'JavaScript' which means this will always equate to false no matter what the answer is. Even if the user inputs "JavaScript" this is then converted to "JAVASCRIPT" which will not match. So if you remove the .toUpperCase() method from answer, it should work :)
