I'm unsure why this isn't executing properly? It's so simple however I can't warp my head around it:

response = prompt(question.toLowerCase());

When I insert something into the prompt and I console.log it it seems to e back with uppercase letter that I added when I inserted the value into the prompt.

I want toLowerCase to convert any value into lowercase when submitted.

Any idea why this isn't working?

It's because you are setting lower caption of prompt, not the entered text. You have to use:

response = prompt(question).toLowerCase();

As you want toLowerCase() to convert any user response to lowercase, try

resp = prompt('Blah blah', '')
lcrp = response.toLowerCase();

As prompt or window.prompt accepts two arguments, one for the message to be displayed in the prompt and another as a default if the user did not provide any response.

prompt returns the user input as a string. So, resp.toLowerCase() should convert resp to lowercase.
