Why isn't the correctAnswers print out correctly?
var quiz = [ ['What is 1 + 1?', 2], ['What is 2 + 2?', 4], ['What is 3 + 3?', 6] ]; var correctAnswers = 0; var answer; var html;
function print (message) { document.write(message); }
for ( var i = 0; i < quiz.length; i += 1){ answer = prompt (quiz[i][0]); if (answer === quiz[i][1]){ correctAnswers += 1; }; }
html= ' you got' + ' ' + correctAnswers + ' ' + 'questions right.' print(html);

231,275 PointsYou've stored your correct answers as numbers, but the "prompt" function returns a string. And the type-sensitive comparison (===) will always be false when the types don't match.
Use a normal comparison (==), or convert the input into a number.
