well, if statement should be

if (monkeyTrouble == "banana")

note the "==".

  if (monkeyTrouble == "banana") {

Comparing vs. assigning.

Think you are looking for this...

if (monkeyTrouble == "banana") {

Hope that helps!

The condition is using =, should probably be ==:

if (monkeyTrouble == "banana")
