Hi guys! Having difficulty getting my browser to "prompt". Is my code off, or is there something else going on?

I know this isn't the right code for the video, just illustrating what I'm working with. The loop is not working, nor are either of the prompts outside of it. Thank you!!

var questions = [
   ['q1', 'answer1'],
   ['q2', 'answer2'],
   ['q3', 'answer3']
];

var correctAnswers = 0;
var question;
var answer;
var response;
var html;

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

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

prompt(questions[0][0]);
prompt("hi");

You're probably seeing errors because your i variable is undefined. You should have it as:

for (var i = 0; i < questions.length; i+= 1)

Got it! Had another issue with my code that didn't copy. Thank you.

It's because you have parenthesis wrapped around your array elements in the loop, you are treating it as if questions was a function and the array elements are its parameters which is not the case, this is causing an error which is preventing your code from executing properly. It should be:

    question = questions[i][0];
    answer = questions[i][1];
