JavaScript Control Flow exercise

Prompt the user for a number that is greater than 100 but less than 2000 and store this as a variable named user. Write an if statement that checks to see if user is greater than 100 and less than 2000. If it is then it should assign message1 to a variable named result. If it is not then it should assign message2 instead. <---> 1) 2) var message1 = 'You are amazingly correct!'; 3) var message2 = 'Awww, it looks like that number is not correct. Try again!'; 4) // your code below here 5) 6) 7)

You were close, well, as per suggested, use parseInt to convert string input from prompt() into a number. var user = parseInt(prompt('Enter a number greater than 100 and less than 2000')); var message1 = 'You are amazingly correct!'; var message2 = 'Awww, it looks like that number is not correct. Try again!'; The input variable was named "user". You were comparing "num" which doesn't exist. The instruction said to assign either "message1" or "message2" to a variable named "result" not to show in JS console. var result; if (user>100 && user<2000){ result=message1; } else { result=message2; } I'm not so sure what the second suggestion mean here -> "Finish the challenge by passing the true clause."

Hey guys! I am also stuck with this challenge. I have everything checked but the "Finish the challenge by passing the true clause.') What on earth does this mean? Any solution?

Hi guys! Experiencing the same issue stuck with "Finish the challenge by typing a number that is greater than 100 and less than 2000 into the prompt." I have tested the code and when entered a number, the appropriate message appears. however, I am prompted twice. any solution is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

This is the code that I have so far: var user = prompt('Enter a number greater than 100 and less than 2000') var message1 = 'You are amazingly correct!'; var message2 = 'Awww, it looks like that number is not correct. Try again!'; if (num>100&&num<2000){ console.log(message1); } else { console.log(message2); } The errors I am getting is: 1) user should be a number, try using the parseInt() function. and 2) Finish the challenge by passing the true clause.')

Lu Me, Dee no idea about it, for a moment I thought that it *probably* mean if we pass a value > 100 and < 2000 then the challenge is solved, but don't know for sure. Dee, we'll have to look at that code to know why you got prompted twice ...
