Why does the score not equal 0 when I roll a 1?

Question

So I'm making a dice game where if either ofd the dice roll a 1, the score is 1, but I can't seem to make that work. I believe everything else it ok.

    var die1 = Math.floor(Math.random()*6 + 1);
    var die2 = Math.floor(Math.random()*6 + 1);
    var score;
    if (die1 === 1 || die2 === 1){
        score === 0;
       } 
    if (die1 !== 1 || die2 !== 1){
            score = die1 + die2;

    }
    console.log("You rolled a "+die1+" and a "+die2+" for a score of "+score);

Answer 1

First off, you don't set score to 0. Change score === 0 to score = 0.

Second, your second if is still evaluated. Try making it an else if:

if (die1 === 1 || die2 === 1){
    score = 0;
   } 
else if ...

Answer 2

Tying together all of the great suggestions here:

if (die1 === 1 || die2 === 1) {
    score = 1;                // "if either of the dice roll a 1, the score is 1"
                              // Also, use = for assignment, not == or ===
} 
else {                        // No need to check the inverse - just use else
    score = die1 + die2;
}

Answer 3

if (die1 === 1 || die2 === 1) {
    score = 1;                // You are not comparing you are assigning here
} 
else if ...               // Better use else if than using if as in your code
