New to JavaScript and teaching myself

I am trying to prompt the user for a color, then have the console report if the user typed a primary color (red, blue, or yellow) or a secondary color (orange, green or purple) or none of these. I also want to handle the situation for both uppercase and lowercase letters in the color the user types in. https://code.sololearn.com/WI5mGKZMIcdN/?ref=app

FYI, you can't use relational operators(< ,==,>) or logical operators(||,&&) to compare an input variable with an array element unless you're using a loop. Also, you can add Prasanth's code inside your script tag or use one of them for better look

Rather create new web code bit, and share its link than copy/pasting raw text code. https://www.sololearn.com/post/75089/?ref=app

Nick, Wrong type of code bro ... Create your code in a new "Web" project, not "Java" project ... Please change it.

Nick B No that's for temporary. I think you have accessed many times so SL blocked you for some time. After some time you will be able to write and run code in Web.

Nick B Single equal is used for assignment not for comparison. Use double equal (==).

I was wondering, is readLine() a real JavaScript function? Because when I try to use it on another compiler, it says Error: readLine is not defined
