Please help, it just won't track anything, correct answer or wrong answer!

So I was doing this (https://teamtreehouse.com/library/build-a-quiz-challenge-part-1) challenge. Drag the video to the 00;26 if you want to know what I am trying to build. Long story short, I was suppose to build a two-dimensional array, that contains three questions and their answers. And I should prompt those questions, collect inputs, and evaluate if the inputs are correct. I should also keep track of the number of correct and wrong answers, and print them to the webpage. And this is what I have done(js/quiz.js): https://teamtreehouse.com/workspaces/29326122. It runs, and when I enter the console, it shows nothing, not mistake or anything. But it just won't track anything, no matter how you answer those question, the page will tell you you get 0 correct and 0 wrong answer!. Please help me, I really don't know what I did wrong.

You can't share a direct URL to your workspace, it's temporary and only exists while you are using it
But you can use the snapshot function in the workspace and provide the link to that.

Good snapshot! Now I can see the issue: when the messages are created, "correct" and "wrong" still have the starting values of 0. But if you move the lines that create the messages so that they come after the program loop, then the messages will show the final values instead of the starting values.
