The String#upcase method returns a string which is equal to the string
it is called on with all the letters converted to upper case. If you
want to check that a string has no lowercase letters, you could use
"answer3 == answer3.upcase" as your condition. If you want to check
that a string is capitalized (which is slightly different), "answer3
== answer3.capitalize" is more likely to be what you want.
