      @greenenchilada `if ("var age = 18")` just says "does this string I've put in here exist?" -- what you actually want is `if (age < 18)` (var is only used when you first create the variable, and you want to be checking if the age is less than 18, rather than if it's exactly 18)

        @bitshift Oh wait it's just there as a prompt. It's not supposed to have a correct answer.

      @greenenchilada Also, there's a fundamental difference in between `<something> = <another thing>` and `<something> === <another thing>`. The first is "set <something> to the value of <another thing>", the second is "is <something> equal to <another thing>?"

        @greenenchilada (There's also a double-equals (==) version, but thanks to historical cruft in javascript, it's better to avoid it entirely.)
