9,153 PointsHave I understood task incorrectly?
I thought we need to create a lists of questions that were answered correctly and incorrectly, but the solution is to count correct answers. That's what I did to print lists of questions answered correctly and incorrectly.
P.S. Sorry for absolute stupid questions.
// Array of questions with answers
var questionBox = [
['What is the Web school where you learn JavaScript?', 'Treehouse'],
['Do you like JavaScript so far?', 'Yes'],
['Are you going to continue learning JavaScript if you fail this challenge?', 'Yes']
];
// Array of correct and wrong answers array with index 0 = correctly answered, index 1 = incorrectly.
var answerBox = [
[],
[]
];
// handmade printer
function print(message) {
document.write(message);
}
// loop to get answers and store in corresponding arrays
for (var i = 0; i < questionBox.length; i++) {
var getAnswer = prompt(questionBox[i][0]);
if (getAnswer === questionBox[i][1]) {
answerBox[0].push(questionBox[i][0]);
} else {
answerBox[1].push(questionBox[i][0]);
}
}
// creates printable list of questions answered correctly
function printCorrectResult ( array ) {
var listCorrect = '<ol>';
for (var i = 0; i < array[0].length; i++) {
listCorrect += '<li>' + array[0][i] + '</li>';
}
listCorrect += '</ol>';
print(listCorrect);
}
// creates printable list of questions answered incorrectly
function printIncorrectResult ( array ) {
var listIncorrect = '<ol>';
for (var i = 0; i < array[1].length; i++) {
listIncorrect += '<li>' + array[1][i] + '</li>';
}
listIncorrect += '</ol>';
print(listIncorrect);
}
print('<h1> Questions answered correctly: </h1>');
printCorrectResult(answerBox);
print('<h1> Questions answered incorrectly: </h1>');
printIncorrectResult(answerBox);

9,153 PointsHi Jonathan, yep that's what I intended when I've written it. I thought that it was a task as per challenge instructions but Dave's solution does absolutely another thing, it just hows count of correct answers.
