1,144 Pointsif statement within the for loop is not incrementing the "correctAnswers" variable - even though syntax looks correct
correctAnswers variable always comes back as 0 even when getting questions right and should be incrementing. The problem appears to be happening in the for loop if statement.
var quizQuestions = [
[ 'What is the color of the sun?' , 'Yellow' ] ,
[ 'What is the color of the grass?' , 'Green' ] ,
[ 'What is the color of the sky?' , 'Blue'] ,
];
var correctAnswers = 0;
var question;
var answer;
var response;
var html;
function print(message) {
var outputDiv = document.getElementById('output');
outputDiv.innerHTML = message;
}
// Ask the questions
for (var i = 0; i < quizQuestions.length; i += 1) {
question = quizQuestions[i][0];
answer = quizQuestions[i][1];
response = prompt(question).toLowerCase();
if (response === answer) {
correctAnswers += 1;
}
}
html = "You got " + correctAnswers + " question(s) correct.";
print(html);

54,972 PointsSince you convert your responses to lowercase and all your answers are in title case they will never be equal. One easy fix is to change your answers to lowercase.

1,144 PointsThank you! For some reason I thought the toLowerCase was also converting the question string but now the error seems obvious. Thanks!
