What do I do? I can't figure it out.

 

 

You have to actually set it to prompt, currently it's setting an empty variable.

What's in the instruction. Set the variable Name to prompt, What's your name? The clue would be that you have declared a variable, assigned it no value and then used a comparison operator against it; the prompt will assign whatever the user types into the prompt to variable name.

You have to fill the 'name' variable in some way.

Now it's just an empty variable, so it will always console.log "Your name isn't Sam!"
