if ( answer === 'Ruby' || 'ruby' )
...but as brendon pointed out that doesn't catch all capitalizations so the toUpperCase() method is the best.

First you need to use slice to take out the r and store it into a variable, then uppercase it and lastly you concatenate it to the rest of the string slicing out the first lowercase r.

Simply adding the toUpperCase method (as shown) would be the easiest solution to let the program function accordingly regardless of the capitalization or lack thereof. All variations of "ruby" would work, i.e. "RuBy; rUbY; rUBY" and so forth.
