Build a Fortune Teller - Build a Fortune Teller

Tell us what’s happening:

I’ve tried several times to log the selectedFortune variable to the console, but I keep receiving an error message of : “The randomNumber should correspond to its fortune. For example, if randomNumber is 1, the selectedFortune should be equal to fortune1 and so on.”

Your code so far

const fortune1 = "Your cat will look very cuddly today."; 
const fortune2 = "The weather will be nice tomorrow"; 
const fortune3 = "Be cautious of your new neighbors"; 
const fortune4 = "You will find a new hobby soon."; 
const fortune5 = "It would be wise to avoid the color red today."; 

const randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * 5)+1; 

let selectedFortune = randomNumber; 

if(randomNumber === 1){
 selectedFortune === fortune1
}else if (randomNumber === 2){
    selectedFortune === fortune2
}else if (randomNumber === 3){
  selectedFortune === fortune3
}else if (randomNumber === 4){
 selectedFortune === fortune4
}else {
 selectedFortune === fortune5
}
console.log(selectedFortune);

Hi @gideonosag ,

Is that the operator we use to assign a value to a variable?

Happy coding!
