How to get the list numbered

I figured this out on my own (lots of trial and error), and i got it working. My only question is how do i make the <ol> numbered. I was thinking of just adding it manually in the loop, but I thought ordered lists were supposed to be numbered by default.

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

var quizScore = 0
var question;
var correctAnswer = '';
var incorrectAnswer = '';
var quizQA = [
  ['Who wrote the book, "Flags in the Dust?"', 'william faulkner'],
  ['What is the capital city of Japan?', 'tokyo'],
  ['Analog gear utilizes even or odd harmonics?', 'even'],
];

for ( i = 0; i < quizQA.length; i += 1 ) {
  question = prompt(quizQA[i][0]);
  if ( question === quizQA[i][1].toLowerCase() ) {
    quizScore += 1;
    correctAnswer += quizQA[i][0] + "<br>";
  } else {
    quizScore += 0
    incorrectAnswer += quizQA[i][0] + "<br>";
  }
}

print("<h1>Your got the following questions correct:</h1><br>" + "<ol>" + correctAnswer + "</ol>");
print("<h1>Your got the following questions incorrect:</h1><br>" + "<ol>" + incorrectAnswer + "</ol>");

print("<h2>Your Score is " + quizScore + ".</h2>");

Make each correct or incorrect answer a list item:

for ( i = 0; i < quizQA.length; i += 1 ) { question = prompt(quizQA[i][0]); if ( question === quizQA[i][1].toLowerCase() ) { quizScore += 1; correctAnswer += "<li>" + quizQA[i][0] + "</li>"; } else { quizScore += 0 incorrectAnswer += "<li>" + quizQA[i][0] + "</li>"; } }
