Help with simple program

[Davda]

I have two questions. First how do I paste code? And second I want a program that asks your name then your gender. If you are a girl I want it to ask if you are married (For ms. or mrs. purposes). However I do not want the program to ask that if you are a boy. Here is what I have. What have I done wrong?

var name = prompt("Name");
var gender=prompt("Gender");
if(gender==="female"||"girl"){
var result=prompt("are you married");
if (result==="yes"){
console.log("Hello Mrs."+name);

}else{
console.log("Hello Ms."+name);
}
}else{
console.log("Hello Mr."+name);
}

That's Javascript, and not Java. Java and Javascript are different languages. I suggest you look for a javascript forum.

That said, I double

if(gender==="female"||"girl"){
...
}

and I suspect you will want something like

if(gender==="female" || gender==="girl"){
...
}

Although you shouldn't post this here, I will aid you anyway.

first, you append code to this forum appropriately via adding code tags.

When your code is now properly tagged, it will appear like so:

var name = prompt("Name");
var gender=prompt("Gender");
     if(gender=="female"||"girl")
     {
          var result=prompt("are you married");
          if (result=="yes")
          {
               console.log("Hello Mrs."+name);
          }
          else
          {
               console.log("Hello Ms."+name);
          }
     }
     else
     {
          console.log("Hello Mr."+name);
     }

Also u need to indent you sh*t.



Lol now for the actual solution. This might be the solution. you have === three equal signs for your comparison scheme. This is wrong. You need only two equal symbols to compare strings in javascript.

Also, as said by previous user, you need: (gender=="female"|| gender=="girl")
