the system kept saying " you don't put "what day is it? " in the prompt function.

I don't understand why the system kept saying " you don't put "what day is it? " in the prompt function.

scripts.js 
var answer = prompt("what day is it?");
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

</head>
<body>
<script src="scripts.js"></script>

Hi there! Challenges are very strict and expect exact results. This includes spelling, capitalization, punctuation, and even spacing! The challenge asks for you to include the string "What day is it?" in your prompt, but your prompt is printing "what day is it?". Note the capitalization of the "W". If I change the capitalization to that required by the challenge, your code passes!

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
