18,068 PointsThere are a few issues with your code.
To start, I'm not sure why you've assigned the prompt to 2 different variables. The correct way to assign your prompt would be like so:
var answer = prompt("What day is it?");
Also the user variable doesn't need to exist at all, so you can omit that completely.
In order to use document.write() to display the answer variable, you can simply call the function like so:
document.write(answer);
Although you can assign a function to a variable, it is unnecessary in this case.
I hope this helps!

647 PointsThe reason I assigned the two prompts is because it's the only way it passes the challenge test the question ask you to assign a user prompt that ask what day is it? . My document.write() method fails with the Bummer error message that reads It look like you put the document.write() in the wrong place
