Why does it keep saying bronze crown when I enter all the correct answers?

var question1 = prompt('What is my name?'); var score = 0 if (question1.toLowerCase === 'chikanma') { score += 1 }

var question2 = prompt('What school do you go to?'); if (question2.toLowerCase === 'Trinity') { score += 1 }

var question3 = prompt('What is my favorite color?'); if (question3.toLowerCase === 'Purple') { score += 1 }

if (score === 3) { alert("You have won a gold crown"); }

if (score === 2) { alert("You have won a silver crown"); }

if (score === 1 || score === 0) { alert("You have won a bronze crown"); }

toLowerCase() has parentheses to indicate that it is a method. I also added semicolons in the following:

var question1 = prompt('What is my name?');
var score = 0;
if (question1.toLowerCase() === 'chikanma'){
    score += 1;
}

var question2 = prompt('What school do you go to?');
if (question2.toLowerCase() === 'trinity'){
    score += 1;
}

var question3 = prompt('What is my favorite color?');
if (question3.toLowerCase() === 'purple') {
    score += 1;
}

if (score === 3) { alert("You have won a gold crown"); }

if (score === 2) { alert("You have won a silver crown"); }

if (score === 1 || score === 0) { alert("You have won a bronze crown"); }

Both of the following will never be true because they are being compared to a value that is not lowercase (Trinity, Purple). Therefore the best score you could ever get is 1 for bronze.

if (question2.toLowerCase === 'Trinity') 
if (question3.toLowerCase === 'Purple')

Thank you, I made your corrections but it still does not work.

var question1 = prompt('What is my name?'); var score = 0 if (question1.toLowerCase === 'chikanma') { score += 1 }

var question2 = prompt('What school do you go to?'); if (question2.toLowerCase === 'trinity') { score += 1 }

var question3 = prompt('What is my favorite color?'); if (question3.toLowerCase === 'purple') { score += 1 }

if (score === 3) { alert("You have won a gold crown"); }

if (score === 2) { alert("You have won a silver crown"); }

if (score === 1 || score === 0) { alert("You have won a bronze crown"); }
