You are using lower-case 's' in "Javascript" within condition expression, whereas the challenge expects you to use an upper-case 'S' as "JavaScript".

Here's a solution:

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

To get around that in the future you could always cast it all to lowercase...

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