Post your code and we can help you

 

I have had a look at the jsfiddle and it is blank....

var apple = 24

var orange = 34

prompt("what is your favorite number");

if (apple == 24) {

 document.write("hi");

} else {

    document.write("bye");

}

in your script apple is allways 24. You need to get the add a parameter for the user input in the prompt method and assign it to your variable

Sorry I don't completely follow ?

You have not assigned the users input to a variable before comparing it.

If you want the apple variable to be equal to the user input change your script to this;

var apple = 24
var orange = 34
apple = prompt("what is your favorite number");
if (apple == 24) {
 document.write("hi");
} else {
    document.write("bye");
}

EDIT: If you don't need the initial values for something else you can shorten the script to this

var apple = prompt("what is your favorite number");
if (apple == 24) {
 document.write("hi");
} else {
    document.write("bye");
}

Thank you, this has be very helpful. My mistake was not adding a variable to the prompt, I hope this locks into my memory bank
