Getting questions in a two-dimensional array to pop up with the prompt method.

I am trying to do a code challenge for creating a quiz with a two-dimensional array but can't get my code to show questions using the prompt method. The code I have written is: In the two-dimensional array part of the course, I cannot get the questions to pop up in the browser. The code that I have written is this: 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 correctAnswers = 0; var question; var answer; var response; var html; function print(message) { document.write(message); }

for (var i = 0; i < questions.length; i += 1){ question = questions[i][0]; answer = questions[i][1]; response = parseInt(prompt(question)); }

It appears that the only bug causing the problem is that you forgot to include a comma after each element of your array. Make the following change to your array declaration.

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],
];

That's the only change I made to your code, and then it worked correctly, providing the prompt for each question. I hope this helps.

Happy coding!
