Beginner Javascript Problem

Question

Trying to store variables from three prompts, and give an alert with the output from the prompts.

I keep getting an error that ")" is missing from line 8, but I cannot figure it out.

//Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this?

var user = prompt("Please enter your name");
var age = prompt("Please enter your age");
var gender = prompt('Please enter your gender\n male or female');
if (gender == "female")
{
alert('Hi'+ user ' are a '+age' old woman');
}
else {
alert('Hi'+ user ' are a '+age' old man');

}

Answer 1

Stephen Keen It should write like this.

alert('Hi' + user + ' are a ' + age + ' old man');

Here user and age is a variable so you should write without quote and when you add two or more than two string you should write +

Answer 2

Stephen Keen Problem is in alert. You have Missed + after user in alert.

Answer 3

try this
alert('Hi' + user + 'are a' + age + ' old woman');

alert('Hi' + user + 'are a' + age + ' old man');

or

alert(`Hi ${user} are a ${age} old ${gender}`);

alert(`Hi ${user} are a ${age} old ${gender}`);

Answer 4

Thank you so much!

Answer 5

Hello Stephen Keen, the first error you had was that you were missing a + sign after the user variable. Remember that to concatenate it is like this:

"text" + variable + "text" + variable + ...

The other error I noticed is that when I put FeMaLe (uppercase) it went for the else statement. Which I solved with:

gender = gender.toLowerCase();

To convert to lowercase and if compare as it should be. I leave the code fixed, I hope it works for you.
