Hi I need help on a Javascript loop

Question

This loop allows any anwer to be right. What do you think is wrong? Thank you so much in advance.

var answer = prompt ('Who is the most famous medieval female figure in European history?'); if( answer === 'Joan of Arc' || 'Joan') {document.write("That is Right!"); } else{ prompt ('Her name starts with J and she has Arc in it'); }

Answer 1

Try this:

var answer = prompt ('Who is the most famous medieval female figure in European history?'); if( answer === 'Joan of Arc' || answer === 'Joan') {document.write("That is Right!"); } else{ prompt ('Her name starts with J and she has Arc in it'); }

Answer 2

Markie Alicia Your code will always indicate a correct answer because the second expression always evaluates as true.

Consider the difference between

if ( 'Joan' ) {... }

... and...

if ( answer === 'Joan' ) {... }

The first expression evaluates as a truthy value because it's not an empty string ( "" ), null, false, or undefined.

The second expression evaluates to true only when the variable { answer } is equal to 'Joan', as is demonstrated in the code by Calviղ.

BTW... It looks like you accidentally posted the same question twice. Please delete the other question.
