Ultimate quiz challenge, doesn't recognize correct answer.

Question

My program does not recognize that I have entered in the correct answer for any questions and always come back with 'you answered 0/5 questions correctly'. It also doesn't add to the 'score' variable. I'm assuming that is because it doesn't recognize yes or y, but idk if it's just something i messed up with the 'score' variable itself. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

The question blocks look like this:

var questionOne = prompt('Is this the first question? [Current Score: ' + score + ']'); if ( questionOne.toLowerCase === 'yes' || questionOne.toLowerCase === 'y') { score += 1; }

First of all, you need to look at your toLowerCase method - this is a method (like a function) and NOT a property of your string, so you need to add brackets after it, like this:

questionOne.toLowerCase()

Currently the conditional will never return true. Also, check that console for any additional bugs in your code. Keep going! :)

Even though the toLowerCase method doesn't use an explicit argument, you still need to add parentheses to indicate that you are calling it: toLowerCase().

Without them, you are just naming it. The name would be "truthy", but that fails an identity comparison with a string.
