Syntax Error: Unexpected token Else

I am learning Javascript via Codecademy and no have been stumped on this little piece here.

I have supposed to write an if else statement.

It shows me here in the following that there is a Syntac Error with a missing identifier:

var userAnswer = prompt("Are you feeling lucky, punk?");

if (userAnswer === "yes");
{

    console.log("Batman hits you very hard. It's Batman and you're you! Of course Batman wins!");
}

 else {

    console.log("You did not say yes to feeling lucky. Good choice! You are a winner in the game of not getting beaten up by Batman.");
}

What is wrong with that.... There is no error in this example here:

if (age < 18)

{

    console.log("We take no actions or responsibility. Play at your own risk!");
}

else

{

    console.log("Enjoy the game");
}
Solution 
  • if (userAnswer === "yes");

    Remove the semicolon.
