Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 6,863 PointsI cant get the code to print what is defined in the html variable.
I can't seem to find an error in my code and am still being returned no correct or wrong questions as well as getting undefined before the correct number is given.
var questions = [
['How old are you?', 25],
['How many continents are there?', 7],
['What s the number 11?', 12]
];
var correctAnswers = 0;
var question;
var answer;
var response;
var html;
var correct = [];
var wrong = [];
function print(message) {
var outputDiv = document.getElementById('output');
outputDiv.innerHTML = message;
}
function bList(arr){
var listHTML = '<ol>';
for(var i = 0; i < arr.lenght; i += 1){
listHTML += '<li>'+ arr[i]+'</li>';
}
listHTML += '</ol>';
return listHTML;
}
for (var i = 0; i < questions.length; i+=1){
question = questions[i][0];
answer = questions[i][1];
response = parseInt(prompt(question));
if(response === answer){
correct.push(question);
correctAnswers+=1;
} else {
wrong.push(question);
}}
html += 'You got ' + correctAnswers + ' questions right!';
html += '<h2>Questions you got right:</h2>';
html += bList(correct);
html += '<h2>Questions you got wrong:</h2>';
html += bList(wrong);
print(html);

And the "undefined" comes from concatenating "+=
" onto a variable ("html") that has no contents. Just change the first operation to a normal assignment ("=
') to fix that.

you are also missing some quotes here, make sure your text to be printed is wrapped like below, and not like the above highlighted
html += '<h2>'Questions you got right: '</h2>';
