Courses Plus Student 26,868 PointsRemember, even though you're currently at part 2 of the code challenge, each time you press the Check Work button, the grader will also evaluate your code against all previous parts of the challenge, should the grader check failed, you'll receive the it looks like Task 1 is no passing, or sth similar. That's why it's important to avoid unnecessarily modifying, directly or indirectly, the code written in the earlier parts of the challenge.
And the reason for this error message here is because, in the line 2 of your code, answer.toUpperCase() altered the value of answer variable, which caused Task 1 to fail.
To correct this, you should write your code without using the .toUpperCase().
var answer = prompt('What is the best programming language?');
if (answer === 'JavaScript'){
alert("You are correct");
}
Like this, hope it helps.
