The question wants to make sure that you are just looking for 'JavaScript' and not the fully uppercase version. Try writing a conditional that specifically looks for the string 'JavaScript' (with the two capital letters) and see how that goes.

Courses Plus Student 2,601 PointsThanks David, I'll give that a try.. the video i was watching suggested I used the toUpperCase() method to ensure the user input returned was all uppercase so my conditional would return true (in the event they typed "javascript" or a mix match of casings.
thanks for the help! I'll give it a try.
