Loops and Arrays

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to create a quiz in Javascript. Here is my code:

///////////

var answers = [

['What colour am I thinking of?', "Red"],

['What number am I thinking of?', 'One'],

['What letter am I thinking of?', 'X']

]

do {

var questionOne = prompt(answers[0][0]);

}

while (questionOne === answers[0][1]);

//////////////

Why is it when I answer the question with the correct answer the loop does not end?

The test condition is:

while (questionOne === answers[0][1]);

This is going to only stop at a wrong answer, to have it end on the correct answer use this:

while (questionOne !== answers[0][1]);
