Tax exercise problem #23

Javascript Programming
#1

why does this programming not work? i get the syntax error but why?
var income = prompt(“Enter income:”);
console.log(income);
if (income < 1000){
console.log(“your tax bill is”, income*0.10);
}
else (income >= 1000){
console.log(“your tax bill is”, 100 +((income-1000)*0.30));
}

You are using curvy quotes “, there should be normal "
Your else should not have a condition (income...), instead, you should use else if if you need an extra condition to your first if.

Here is you code but with those fixes.

var income = prompt("Enter income:");
console.log(income);
if (income < 1000) {
  console.log("your tax bill is", income * 0.1);
} else if (income >= 1000) {
  console.log("your tax bill is", 100 + (income - 1000) * 0.3);
}
