JavaScript What is wrong in this code?

[Aly]

var name = prompt("How is your name?");

if (name = "Alesya" ) {
alert("Good day " + name);
} else {
alert(name + "not correct");
}

It's the equals sign in the `if` statement,

In Javascript specifically
`=` makes the left hand side be equal to the right hand side
`==` Will tell if the values can be considered the same if they were the same type ie. 1 == '1' // would be true
`===` Will tell if both the type and the value are the same ie. 1 === '1' // would be false

So you want this

var name = prompt("What is your name?");

    if (name == "Alesya" ) {
    alert("Good day " + name);
    } else {
    alert(name + " not correct");
    }
