JavaScript JavaScript Basics (Retired) Making Decisions with Conditional Statements The Conditional Challenge

Overthinking the 5 quiz challenge?

if(question1.toUpperCase() === "moon" || question1.toUppercase() === "the moon") This line of code meant to accept the users input either if they type moon, MOON, or The moon. It seems to work, but then I don't get alert after answering the question, and I "closed" it with else statement as well. It might be easier to just use else if statement, but I'm wondering if there is any way to apply this code as I was trying. Thanks chaps for advance

The second expression in your condition (question1.toUpperCase === "the moon") will evaluate as true if the user enters either "the moon" or "THE MOON" but you state that it should accept if user input is "The moon" which only has one capital letter: 'T' so they would have to enter that phrase as "The moon" for the second condition to evaluate as true.
