Basic JavaScript - Use Conditional Logic with If Statements

[Zid]

Tell us what’s happening:
Describe your issue in detail here.

Your code so far

function trueOrFalse(wasThatTrue) {
  // Only change code below this line
  if (wasThatTrue= false){
    return "No, that was false";
  }
    return "Yes, that was true";

  // Only change code above this line

}

Hi, welcome to the forum!
We see you have posted some code but did you have a question?

[goodCamelCase]

@Zid

if (wasThatTrue= false){
    return "No, that was false";
  }

The problem is that you used = (the assignment operator) instead of === or == (condition verifiers).
The assignment operator is used when declaring variables not to check for similarity in conditionals, in conditionals you use the condition verifiers.

@Zid

}
    return "Yes, that was true";

Here you didnt add the closing curly bracket, though i reccomend you use else instead.

So if you apply all that i have said, your code should look like this:

function trueOrFalse(wasThatTrue) {
  // Only change code below this line
  if (wasThatTrue === false){
    return "No, that was false";
  } else {
        return "Yes, that was true";
  }
          
  // Only change code above this line

}
