Code works but what if I wanted to ask a mixture of string and integer based answers?

Hi my lovelies, I got my code to work based on string responses, and added the .toLowerCase() method.

What if I want to change my last question array to: 'how many children did Abraham have?', '2'. Where would I use parseInt() (to convert the response to an integer) in my code?

Appreciate your time! Ruby x

var correctCounter =0;
var wrongCounter =0;
var answers;
var QandAList = [
['Name the film with the boy, red balloon and clown', 'it'],
['which country was the famous poet, Hafez, born?', 'iran'],
['who was god of the sea?', 'poseidon'],
];

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

for ( var i = 0; i < QandAList.length; i++) {
  answers = prompt(QandAList[i][0]);
  answers = answers.toLowerCase();
  if (answers === QandAList[i][1]) {
   correctCounter +=1; 
   alert('Sweet! ' + answers  + ' is correct');
} else {
   wrongCounter +=1;
   alert('Oops! ' + answers + ' is incorrect');
} 
}
print('You got ' + correctCounter + ' answers correct and ' + wrongCounter + ' incorrect. Thanks for playing. ');

Hey there! With this code, I think an option is to simply put the number in quotations.

For example: ['Name the film with the boy, red balloon and clown', '1']

Good luck!
