I need help doing something simple with java script. hmm
When I try running it, it doesn't work. hmm

var guess = prompt("Hello");

if (guess === "Hi." ) {
console.log ("Sup.");
else

Can someone help me please? Thanks. big_smile
I'm learning java script, and that's a random thing I thought up from learning from a lesson.

I dont know. I know a lot of js, but I never messed around with the console object.

Er... You forgot to put an action for else

anyways...

var guess = prompt("Hello");

if (guess === "Hi." ) {
console.log("Sup.");
}

If you want to add an else, you could do something like:

var guess = prompt("Hello");

if (guess === "Hi." ) {
console.log("Sup.");
}
else {
console.log("You didn't say hi to me!!!");
}

Still doesn't work. hmm
Oh well. big_smile

Does it say it can't find the console object? Some browsers don't support it.

Code:

var guess = prompt('Hello');
if (guess == 'Hi.' ) {
console.log('Sup.');
}

the code above works for me. i think the problem was that you used double quotes instead of single quotes... and maybe also because there was three equals signs instead of two.

i type Hi. and open the console... magic... the text "Sup." appears tongue

I've never even heard of the Console object!

i haven't either but i figured that if you press F12 in Chrome to access developer tools, it has a console. console.log outputs text to the console window.

triple equals is the same function as double (checking if two values are equal)

EDT: I'm using the codeacademy scratch pad and this code worked for me:
var guess = prompt("Hello");

if (guess === "Hi." ) {
console.log("Sup.");
}

It only works if you're using codeacadamy or if you have the console up by using firebug or chrome.

Actually, no it's not. triple equals also checks if the two things you are comparing are of the same type (boolean, string etc.)

triple equals (===) is the identity operator. It simply checks if two objects are identical (the same object)
double equals (==) is the equality operator. It does type coercion before it compares its operands; for example, '0' == 0 (equality), but '0' !== 0 (identity)
