it says Did you write an else if statement for if the moonPhase is mostly new?
but i write already

let moonPhase = `full`

if(moonPhase === `full`){
  console.log(`Howl!`);
}else if(moonPhase === `mostly full`){
  console.log(`Arms and legs are getting hairer`);
}else if(moonPhase === `mostly new`){
  console.log(`Back on two feet`);
}else{
  console.lof(`Invalid moon phase`)
}

Hi @aaronjoseph2001,

You’re using a backtick ` symbol

For string values, you should use single quote ' ' or the double quotes " ".

Example:

let stopLight = 'green';  //<== Notice the quotation mark? It's not backtick symbol

if (stopLight === 'red') {  //<== Same goes for the rest
  console.log('Stop');       //<==  
} else if (stopLight === 'yellow') {
  console.log('Slow down');
} else if (stopLight === 'green') {
  console.log('Go!');
} else {
  console.log('Caution, unknown!');
}

---

Change all the backticks into single quote ' ', your code should work.

Cheers!

@codexthon Thanks a lot bro
i didn’t think of that

[codexthon]

You’re welcome @aaronjoseph2001,

Just for completeness. There’s two semicolons should be added (not a must, but for completeness)

let moonPhase = 'full';  //<== here

 //codes
 //....

}else{
  console.log('Invalid moon phase');   //<== here
}

---

Note:

And I just notice this spelling error in your code, it’s console.log

}else{
  console.lof('Invalid moon phase')  //<== spelling
}

@codexthon
wa your eyes are good man you must teach me how you do it
anyway thanks again

@aaronjoseph2001, just more practice and a curious mind. By helping to figure out why codes don’t work, it certainly improves my debugging skill.

Sometimes, just one spelling difference could throw error and make the code unusable.

That said, you’re welcome and have fun coding!

Need help with code review

Code:
let moonPhase=‘full’;
/if(moonPhase===‘full’)
console.log(‘Howl!’);
else
console.log(‘I swear I am not a werewolf.’);/
if(moonPhase===‘full’)
console.log(‘Howl!’);
else if(moonPhase===‘mostly full’)
console.log(‘Arms and legs are getting hairier’);
else if(moonPhase===‘mostly new’)
console.log(‘Back on two feet’);
else
console.log(‘Invalid moon phase’);

This program runs smoothly, but a message "Did you write an else statement that logs ‘Invalid moon phase’?
" is displayed.
Can anyone explain why is this message displayed?
