5,952 PointsThat's basically it. I did end up figuring it out, and my issue was that I was not calling the function to run.
Except for the sake of DRY:
var bowl = ["jelly-bean", "m&m", "m&m", "chocolate", "m&m", "jelly-bean", "m&m", "m&m", "jelly-bean"]
var jbOccur = 0; var mOccur = 0; var chocOccur = 0;
function occurrence() {
for( var i = 0; i < bowl.length; i += 1) {
if (bowl[i] === "jelly-bean") {jbOccur += 1;}
if (bowl[i] === "m&m") {mOccur += 1;}
if (bowl[i] === "chocolate") {chocOccur += 1;}
}}
occurrence();
console.log(jbOccur); console.log(mOccur); console.log(chocOccur);

My answer
Declarations
var bowl = ["jelly-bean", "m&m", "m&m", "chocolate",
"m&m", "jelly-bean", "m&m", "m&m", "jelly-bean"]
var jbOccur = 0;
var mOccur = 0;
var chocOccur = 0;
Start your function and for-loop
function occurrence() {
for ( var i = 0; i < bowl.length; i ++) {
// "++" and remove 1 to add +1 to the loop count
Deal with the Jellybeans first
if (bowl[i] === "jelly-bean") {
/*changed your bowl.length (a count of items in the bowl array)
TO analyze if the current item of the bowl array = the word, "jelly-bean" */
jbOccur += 1; //do this if bowl[i] is the same as this word ie "jelly-bean"
console.log('jbOccur + 1 now ', jbOccur); // log it out so you see it
Iterate through m&ms, still looping
} else if (bowl[i] === "m&m") { //continue the script
//if not "jellybean", then if its m&m add one to "m&m"
mOccur += 1; //add to m&m count
console.log('mOccur + 1 now ', mOccur); //log it out
Home stretch, accounting for chocolate
} else if (bowl[i] === "chocolate") {
//if not "m&m", then if "chocolate" + one
chocOccur += 1; //add to chocolate count
console.log('chocOccur + 1 now ', chocOccur); //log it out
}
}
}
Run it
occurrence (); //run the function
/*/print my totals /*/
console.log(' Total: jellybeans', jbOccur);
console.log(' Total: m&m\'s', mOccur);
console.log(' Total: chocolate', chocOccur);
I had to go but this got me interested, I actually made the start to a game with the first round of answers I was going to give you. This is what happens when you mix candy and code :O!

11,083 PointsI don't have enough time atm to fully help with this one but I can tell you that your index.html file is missing the quiz.js script.
Add this to your html, based on the quick look I had, you should add it before the bootcamp.js to allow the entry field (question) to come first.
<script src="js/quiz.js"></script>
I'll check back in later if I can and someone else hasn't already answered.

5,952 PointsI'm not using quiz.js whatsoever.
Only concerned with the bootcamp.js
