There's still a few more issues to be addressed:

  • the loop only asks the questions, the scoring code is outside the loop
  • since the answers are all numbers, the "guess" must be converted to match
  • the index for the answer should be "[i][1]", not "[0][i]"
  • questionsCorrect should be assigned with the concatenating operator ("+=")
  • both "questionsCorrect" and "wrong" should be initialzed to an empty string

At first glance, I notice two things in "quiz.js:

  • on line 23 you call "propt", but you don't store the value it returns anywhere
  • on line 24 you attempt to convert the questions array into a number

I'd guess that a new variable (first to store, then convert from) should be involved in both lines.

fix some errors, but don't understand what you mean by storing the value so it returns anywhere. not quite sure on how to do that. well just confuse

You might use an assignment to save the result of using "propt", as in this generic example:

var someVariable = prompt("a prompt question");

Calling "prompt" without the assignment asks the question, but whatever answer the user types is lost.
