Cant figure this out

When I run this into the browser and do a console.log(correctQ); in console. the only value that is stack in it where ["H", "o"]. whats the problem here? thanks.

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 correctQ = [];

var wrongQ = [];

var correctAnswers = 0;

var wrongAnswers = 0;

var question;

var answer;

var response;

var html;

var htmlListr;

var htmlListw;

function print(message) { document.write(message); }

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;

correctQ.push (question[i][0]);

} else

{

  wrongAnswers += 1;

  wrongQ.push (question[i][0]);

}

}

html = "You got " + correctAnswers + " question(s) right."

print(html);

Look at what you are pushing on the stack,

correctQ.push (question[i][0]);

What does question contain? It is the current question, not the array of questions. so you are getting the individual elements of the string, which is why you get "H", the first letter of the first question and "o", the second letter of the second question.

Change your code to:

correctQ.push (questions[i][0]);
