You either need to write:

answer = “alpha”;

or

answer = ‘alpha’;

You were mixing the double quote with the single quote. Either use both double quotes or both single quotes to surround a string.

Also, I edited your post for readability. When you enter a code block into the forum, remember to precede it with a line of three backticks and follow it with a line of three backticks to make easier to read. See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard. The “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) will also add backticks around text.
