I am trying to loop old project

Question

I need help. I think I the question is looping correctly. I think the problem I am having is whatever I typed in third question (type a verb) is stored in the Variable answerr. What I want it to do is my response to every question to be stored.

CODE

var question = 3;
var questionsLeft = " [There are " + question + " question(s) left.] ";


var questionz = [

    "Type a noun",

    "Type an adjective",

    "Type a verb"

];

var questionn;
var answerr;


function loopIt(arr) {

    for(i = 0; i < arr.length; i += 1) {

        questionn = prompt(arr[i] + questionsLeft);
        answerr = questionn;
        question = question -1;
        questionsLeft = " [There are " + question + " questions left.] ";

    }


}



loopIt(questionz);





function print(message) {

var div = document.getElementById("output");
div.innerHTML = message;
}


var html = "There once was a " + answerr + ".";
html += " The " + answerr + " was very " + answerr;
ahtml += " and liked to " + answerr + ".";


print(html);

The loop asks 3 questions, and uses an array of 3 strings for the prompts. But there's only one variable to hold the answers, so each answer given replaces all those before it.

So to save all the answers, you might want to use another array to hold them. The code might look like this:

// before the loop
var answer = [];
// inside the loop
    answer.push(questionn);
// after the loop
var html = `There once was a ${answer[0]}.
            The ${answer[0]} was very ${answer[1]}
            and liked to ${answer[2]}.`;
