7,690 PointsVariable named correct
Hi I'm confused on how the correct variable starts off at 0 and then for each question += 1.

Then, on lines 20, 24, 28 ...etc. the "correct += 1" raises the value by one each time, but the "if" statement only lets this happen if the answer was right.
Does that clear it up?

1,631 PointsI had similar issue with line twenty as undefined. problem solved when I assigned value to 1 after first answer :
let score = 0;
// 2. Store the rank of a player let rank = '';
// 3. Select the <main> HTML element const main = document.querySelector('main')

231,236 PointsThe problem here is the variable was created with the name "score", but in the questions it is referred to as "correct".
The name "correct" was never propertly declared or initialized.
