S.O.S.! Problems with if/else conditions!

My code:

var counter = 0;

var firstQuestion = prompt ('Which is a currency unit in Germany?');

if (firstQuestion.toUpperCase === 'EURO')

{ counter += 1; }

else {

alert ('Answer is not correct');

counter = 0; }

var secondQuestion = prompt ('In which year first 13 colonies was signatured The Independence Declaration');

if (secondQuestion.parseInt === 1776)

{ counter += 1; }

else {

counter;

alert ('Answer is not correct'); }

Have 2 variables - firstQuestion and secondQuestions. No matter what I enter in my prompt window, always opens alert message, talking that "Answer is not correct", even if an answer is correct.

You must include parentheses when calling a method.

When you call a method like toUpperCase() or parseInt(), you must use parentheses after the name even if no argument is being passed. The name alone represents the method itself, but does not invoke it.
