Unexpected end of input

The results say 'Syntax error: Unexpected end of input' However, the code is identical to Dave's.

// quiz begins, no answers correct var correct = 0;

// ask questions var answer1 = prompt("Name a programming language that's also a gem"); if ( answer1.toUpperCase() === 'RUBY') { correct +=1; } var answer2 = prompt("Name a programming language that's also a snake"); if (answer2.toUpperCase === 'PYTHON') { correct += 1; } var answer3 = prompt("What language do you use to style web pages?"); if (answer3.toUpperCase === 'CSS') { correct += 1; } var answer4 = prompt("What language do you use to build the structure of web pages?"); if (answer4.toUpperCase === 'HTML') { correct += 1; } var answer5 = prompt("What language do you use to add interactivity to a web page?"); if (answer5.toUpperCase === 'JAVASCRIPT') { correct += 1;

// output results document.write("<p>You got " + correct + " out of 5 questions correct.</p>");

// output rank if ( correct === 5) { document.write("<p><strong>You earned a gold crown!</strong></p>"); } else if ( correct >= 3 ) { document.write("<p><strong>You earned a silver crown.</strong></p>"); } else if ( correct >= 1 ) { document.write("<p><strong>You earned a bronze crown.</strong></p>"); } else { document.write("<p><strong>No crown for you, loser.</strong><p>"); }

Hey Jesse

Try addin () to all of your calls to toUpperCase().

Example:

answer.toUpperCase();

To invoke a function/method you have to add parentheses.

Here's your code:

// quiz begins, no answers correct 
var correct = 0;

// ask questions 
var answer1 = prompt("Name a programming language that's also a gem"); 

if ( answer1.toUpperCase() === 'RUBY') { 
    correct +=1; 
    } 

var answer2 = prompt("Name a programming language that's also a snake"); 

if (answer2.toUpperCase === 'PYTHON') { 
    correct += 1; 
    } 

var answer3 = prompt("What language do you use to style web pages?"); 

if (answer3.toUpperCase === 'CSS') {
 correct += 1; 
 } 

var answer4 = prompt("What language do you use to build the structure of web pages?"); 

 if (answer4.toUpperCase === 'HTML') { 
    correct += 1; 
    } 

var answer5 = prompt("What language do you use to add interactivity to a web page?"); 

if (answer5.toUpperCase === 'JAVASCRIPT') { 
    correct += 1;

// output results 

    document.write("You got " + correct + " out of 5 questions correct.");

// output rank 

    if ( correct === 5) { 
        document.write("You earned a gold crown!"); 
    } 
    else if ( correct >= 3 ) { 
        document.write("You earned a silver crown."); 
    } else if ( correct >= 1 ) { 
        document.write("You earned a bronze crown."); 
    } else { 
        document.write("No crown for you, loser."); 
    }

Here is your code after debugging (I didn't do a thorough testing, but I was able to finish the game by passing each question condition; I didn't test all of the output rank conditions, so you might test those.):

// quiz begins, no answers correct 
var correct = 0;

// ask questions 
var answer1 = prompt("Name a programming language that's also a gem"); 

if ( answer1.toUpperCase() === 'RUBY') { 
    correct +=1; 
    } 

var answer2 = prompt("Name a programming language that's also a snake"); 

if (answer2.toUpperCase() === 'PYTHON') { 
    correct += 1; 
    } 

var answer3 = prompt("What language do you use to style web pages?"); 

if (answer3.toUpperCase() === 'CSS') {
 correct += 1; 
 } 

var answer4 = prompt("What language do you use to build the structure of web pages?"); 

 if (answer4.toUpperCase() === 'HTML') { 
    correct += 1; 
    } 

var answer5 = prompt("What language do you use to add interactivity to a web page?"); 

if (answer5.toUpperCase() === 'JAVASCRIPT') { 
    correct += 1;
}

// output results 

    document.write("You got " + correct + " out of 5 questions correct.");

// output rank 

    if ( correct === 5) { 
        document.write("You earned a gold crown!"); 
    } else if ( correct >= 3 ) { 
        document.write("You earned a silver crown."); 
    } else if ( correct >= 1 ) { 
        document.write("You earned a bronze crown."); 
    } else { 
        document.write("No crown for you, loser."); 
    }
