loop and have buidList
instead of buildList
on one line:
// ...
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);
}
} // Add this in there
var html = "You got " + correctAnswers + " question(s) right.";
html += "<h2>The answer you got right were:</h2>"
html += buidList(correct); // Typo here.
html += buildList(wrong);
print(html);
unexpected end of input
usually means there is a missing bracket/parentheses/etc somewhere. It's a frustrating error because it says it's on line 1, but usually that's not the case.
