What is wrong with my Java Script?

[MoonKnightSpidey]

confirm("Are you ready to play?")

var age = prompt("What's your age");

if (age is less than 13)

{

    console.log("You are to young!")

}

else

{

    console.log("GREAT")

}

I'm not particularly great with code, but shouldn't it be like this:

confirm("Are you ready to play?")var age = prompt("What's your age");if (age < 13){    console.log("You are to young!");}else{    console.log("GREAT");}

confirm("Are you ready to play?")var age = prompt("What's your age");// I changed the line belowif (age < 13){    console.log("You are to young!")}else{    console.log("GREAT")}

Not a javascript guy but that looks fairly wrong to me, try this. Also try the other answer, add semicolons. Try codecademy for learning js

Yeah, changed the "is less than" to "<" just after posting. Never used JS before, but using "is less than" seems wrong.

Looks like you used pseudocode rather than writing what it would be in JS

The combined efforts from this thread: http://www.javascriptlint.com/online_lint.php jslint says its fine

}

System.out.println("Are you ready to play?");

System.in(char) //not sure about this part. After four years (although not delving very deep, as they're high school classes) I have never seen a confirm method. You have to check what they input, and //make sure its the right value, int char, string etc.

I assume console log is the same as System.out.println...but one of us labeled this code wrong. I'm not sure whether you have a console class and defined the method log or..

System.out.println is Java, not JavaScript. They are very different programming languages.

Yes Oshino Shinobu and whitephoenix, you guys are right. You can stop wondering now

Edited them both in a way that webstorm wouldn't bitch too much about the code.

 

The first one was his original, the second was with the changes I made (<)

 

Was there something else i missed?

[Guest]

The first line needed a semicolon according to webstorm otherwise you'd be stuck with a first line error.

 

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

Always the damn semi colons.
