If/Else statements not executing!

jenbaby12 · 02-19-2013, 04:50 AM

When I run the code all that runs are the prompts. Both true and false conditions will not execute.

<html>
<head>
<title>My Script</title>
<script type="text/javascript">

confirm("I'm ready to play!");

var age=prompt("What's your age?");
if(age > = 18 ){
console.log ("You may play, but we take no resposibility");
}else{
console.log ("play on");}
console.log("Snow White and Batman were hanging out at the bus stop, waiting to go to the shops. There was a sale on and both needed some new threads. You've never really liked Batman. You walk up to him.");
console.log("Batman glares at you.");
var userAnswer= confirm("Are you feeling lucky, punk?");

if(userAnswer==="yes"){
console.log("Batman hits you very hard. It's Batman and you're you! Of course Batman wins!");
}else{
console.log("You did not say yes to feeling lucky. Good choice! You are a winner in the game of not getting beaten up by Batman.");
}
var feedback=prompt("Please rate this game 1-10");
if (feedback < = 8){
console.log("This is just the beginning of my game empire. Stay tuned for more!");
}else{
console.log("I slaved away at this game and you gave me that score?! The nerve! Just you wait!");
}

</script>

Have you opened the console to check what error messages are being written there if your log messages are not being written there?

3 to 1 odds he has no idea where the console *IS*.

jenbaby: In any case, the operators >= and <= can *NOT* have a space before the = sign.

And please read the form guidelines about the use of code tags. Putting your message in big red characters turns people off (it did me - I just moved on!) and is considered boorish.

if(userAnswer==="yes"){

What if the user types Yes, y or Y?

But I see that your userAnswer comes from a confirm box so is true or false, not yes or no.

if(age > = 18 ){

What is the user answers "Mickey Mouse"?

var feedback=prompt("Please rate this game 1-10");

What if the user enters -10 (my evaluation, I am afraid!

)

Hello good sir. For everyone else on here, I apologize profusely if I give this guy a wrong answer. I just feel I have to contribute something instead of just asking questions!

Firstly, this game seems to be the only game I've ever seen that issues a warning only if you are over 18, and secondly the whole problem with the code is simply as Old Pedant already said, the spaces between the > and =. Change that and it should work.

EDIT: I'm assuming this is for some sort of learning exercise so I didn't attempt to try and 'improve' your code.

Well, you would have to be pretty juvenile to see anything interesting in this "game".
