Hi John,

I'm not sure why it is reporting it as now failing task 1, but the issue is that it is asking you to compare against 'JavaScript' not 'javascript'. So take out your .toLowerCase() 

var answer = prompt("What is the best programming language?");
if(answer === 'JavaScript' ){
  alert("You are correct");
}
