Why can't I use document.write to print my variable after it has been created using a prompt?

The var should capture the data from the prompt and then print it but I a not sure why it does not.

scripts.js 
var answer = prompt("What day is it?");

document.Write(answer);
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="scripts.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
