Hi guys, I don't know why, but the ( correctAnswer) does not increase?
var questions = [
["Where is arizona state located? " , "USA"],
["How many states are in the United States? ", "50"],
["What's my name ", "Thayer"]
];
var correctAnswer = 0;
var wrongAnswer = 0;
var question;
var answer;
var response;
var result;
function print(message) {
document.write(message);
}
for (var i = 0; i < questions.length; i +=1) {
question = questions[i][0];
answer = questions[i][1];
response = parseInt(prompt(question));
if (response === answer) {
correctAnswer +=1;
}else{
wrongAnswer +=1;
}
}
result = "You got " + correctAnswer + " question(s) right " + " And " + wrongAnswer + " questtion(s) wrong! ";
print(result);

You're applying parseInt to the user's input from prompt to convert the response into a number. But the correct answers that you compare with are all strings.

its the same code in the solution video. it also didn't work when i tried that before, like this way.
response = prompt(question);
response= parseInt(response);

response = prompt(question); // change only this line

var question = []; var answer = []; var count = 0; var correctIndex = 0; var incorrectIndex = []; question.push('Which team won the champions league in 2017?','Which country hosts the 2018 Fifa World Cup?','which country has the biggest army in the world?','Which country does not have an army but has a football team?','Which programming language is used for machine learnking and creating classifiers?'); answer.push('real madrid','russia','usa','iceland','python'); function startQuiz(question,answer) { for(var i = 0;i<question.length;i++) { var getAnswer = prompt(question[i]); getAnswer = getAnswer.toLowerCase(); if(getAnswer===answer[i]) { count++; correctIndex = i; } else { incorrectIndex.push(i); } } displayFinalScore(count,incorrectIndex); }
function displayFinalScore(count,incorrectIndex) { document.writeln("Congratulations you have got "+count+" answers right have scorred "+count*10); document.writeln("<p>following the list of incorrect questions with their answers<p>"); for(var i = 0;i<incorrectIndex.length;i++) { document.write("<p>Question : "+question[incorrectIndex[i]]+"</p>"); document.write("<p>Answer : "+answer[incorrectIndex[i]]+"</p>"); } }
startQuiz(question,answer);
