(THE FILE NAME IS: test.js)
Here is the problem:

JavaScript

var Hardware = prompt("What are the physical components of the computer, such as the moniter and system unit, called?");
if (Hardware.toLowercase() == "hardware") {
		var number = 1;

} else { alert("You have failed the test. Please refresh.");     }
if (number == 1) {


}

Now, the problem is that I get a typeError whenever I run this, which states:

Quote:
Uncaught TypeError: Hardware.toLowercase is not a function
at test.js:2

What I have tried:

I have tried looking to see if others have had this same problem; I don't think anyone has.

Solution 1

It should be

toLowerCase()

Watch up for case sensitivity.

Hi, Javascript is case sensitive. I've fixed your code, check it now.

var Hardware = prompt("What are the physical components of the computer, such as the moniter and system unit, called?");
alert(Hardware);
if (Hardware.toLowerCase() == "hardware") {
		var number = 1;
 
} else { alert("You have failed the test. Please refresh.");     }
if (number == 1) {
  alert ("Hello I love to be 1")

}

Happy Coding!
