Problem with 4. First move!

#1

Hello, keep getting a “Oops, try again. There was a problem with your syntax” error. To me it all looks right.

// Check if the user is ready to play!
confirm(“Are Ready to Ruuuuumble?”);
var age = prompt(“what’s your age”);
if(age<13) {
console.log(“get moms permission”)}
else{
console.log(“spend some money!”)}
console.log(“You are at a Justin Bieber concert,and you hear this lyric ‘Lace my shoes off, start racing.’”);
console.log(“Suddenly, Bieber stops and says, ‘Who wants to race me?’”)
var userAnswer = prompt(“Do you want to race Bieber on stage?”.)

I copied and pasted everything, refreshed, and reset code but error still persists. The one thing I notice is that the “13” in the “if(age<13)” line is red in color.

#2

Remove the period at this line var userAnswer = prompt(“Do you want to race Bieber on stage?”.)

it should look like this
var userAnswer = prompt(“Do you want to race Bieber on stage?”);

Oops, try again. Did you remember to console.log(“Suddenly, Bieber stops and says, ‘Who wants to race me?’”); ?

Hi here where the error is

console.log("Suddenly, Bieber stops and says,'
who wants to race me ?'");

you should took the string exatly like they gave you so it should be like that.

"Suddenly, Bieber stops and says, 'Who wants to race me?'"

It worked for me as well :slightly_smiling:

#10

I was also keep getting the same error instruction every time: "Oops, try again. There was a problem with your syntax. " I have passed previous three sections, so I assume that those parts are correct. My coding is reproduced below:

console.log("Suddenly, Bieber stops and says, 'Who wants to race me?'"); var userAnswer = prompt("Do you want to race Bieber on stage?");

Can anyone help me? Thank you all very much.

#11

Hi can you post all your code ?

#12

I’m having trouble with this exercise. receiving error message saying, ‘did you set var userAnswer equal to the result of prompting the user.’

confirm(“are you ready to play?”)
prompt(“whats your age”);
var age= “whats your age”;
if (age <13){
console.log(“you are allowed to play but we take no responsibility”);
}else{
console.log(“all good”);
}
console.log(“You are at a Justin Bieber concert, and you hear this lyric ‘Lace my shoes off, start racing.’”)
console.log(“Suddenly, Bieber stops and says, ‘Who wants to race me?’”)
var userAnswer= prompt(“Do you want to race Bieber on stage?”)

help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

#13

Hi this part

prompt("whats your age");
var age= "whats your age";

You should do it like that

var age = prompt("whats your age");
#14

thanks, still having the issue with the second prompt

‘’’
confirm(“are you ready to play?”);
var age=prompt(“whats your age”);
if (age <13){
console.log(“you are allowed to play but we take no responsibility”);
}else{
console.log(“all good”);
}
console.log(“You are at a Justin Bieber concert, and you hear this lyric ‘Lace my shoes off, start racing.’”);
console.log(“Suddenly, Bieber stops and says, ‘Who wants to race me?’”);
var userAnswer=prompt(“Do you want to race Bieber on stage?”);
‘’’
I haven’t been able to complete any of the prompt sections, starting to think it may be browser related, but I have no basis for that thought.

#15

Hi, yes you should try to change browser , because I test your code and it work fine
