Comparison Operators II Control Flow 6/11

#1

Here are the instructions:

  1. Create a variable named moonPhase and set it equal to full.

  2. Write an if/else statement that checks if the moon is full. If the moonPhase is full, log Howl! to the console, and if it is anything else, log I swear I am not a werewolf.

Notice the code inside the first block of curly braces { } ran. That’s because moonPhase equals full, and therefore the condition evaluates to true.

Originally I coded:

let moonPhase = 'full';
if (moonPhase === true) { 
    console.log('Howl!');
} else {
    console.log('I swear I am not a werewolf.');}
// output: I swear I am not a werewolf.

The second block of curly braces code ran, and I did not complete the second instruction. So, I switched it to:

let moonPhase = 'full';
if (moonPhase === true) { console.log('I swear I am not a werewolf.');}
else {console.log('Howl!');}
// output: Howl!

And the system marks me correct, but it does not match the statement in the instruction “Notice the code inside the first block of curly braces { } ran.”
Please help me understand and point out what I did wrong.

Thank you!

your if comparison is not checking if moonPhase equals 'full'? This is what is causing the problem
