I can't see what is wrong with my code

I am trying to complete the video JavaScript code, BUT i can't see why it's not working. (ps i have tried to add my code using a tip from a previous answer, so i hope it works)

var questions = [
  ['How many states are in the United States?', 50],
  ['How many continents are there?', 7],
  ['How many legs does an insect have?', 6]
];
var correctAnswers = 0;
var question;
var answer;
var response;
var correct = [];
var wrong = [];

function print(message) {
  var outputDiv = document.getElementById('output');
  outputDiv.innerHTML = message;
}

function buildList(arr) {
    var listHTML = '<ol>';
        for (var i = 0; i < array.length; 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 = prompt(question);
  response = parseInt(response);
  if (response === answer) {
    correctAnswers += 1;
    correct.push(question);
    } else {
        wrong.push(question);
    }
}

html = "You got " + correctAnswers + " question(s) right."
html += '<h2> You got these questions correct:</h2>';
html += buildList(correct);
html += '<h2> You got these questions wrong:</h2>';
html += buildList(wrong);
print(html);

In the function "buildList", the parameter name is "arr", but the loop tries to reference "array.length" (and "array" is not defined).

Thanks for that. I have now got the JavaScript code working.
