why am I still wrong

The program is running as it should be yet I am still told I am wrong. What am I doing wrong here?

app.js 
var answer = prompt('What is the best programming language?')
if (answer==='Javascript'){
  alert("You are correct")
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>

your code is correct but the quiz is case sensitive. you have Javascript but the test is asking you to have JavaScript with the S of script capitalized.

hope that helps happy coding

Like many things in programming, it's being picky about upper/lowercase. You should be comparing it to "Java*S*cript" and then it should be fine.

As the other commenters noted, it is JavaScript, which is the official name of the language. Many mistakes are case sensitive issues, so pay attention to the case.
