This is makes an integer of the answer. var value = parseInt(prompt("Enter number: "));

You are using the wrong variable. Amount has the data and you are testing spnd. var amount=parseInt(prompt("enter an amount of money that is spend")); if(spnd<0){ alert("cant spend less than nothing");} else if(spnd>1000000000000){ alert("sorry, but ByteCorp doesn't have that much money"); } else if(spnd>=0&&spnd<=10000000000000){

Ulisses Cruz normally, a prompt(""); is a string var x = prompt(""); is a string but i want it to be a value
