My solution

I'd like to get some feedback on this, is this good, is it bad, is it overkill? I really find it easier to understand than the video solution, but it's just me, maybe it's actually harder.

let answer;
let wrong = [];
let right = [];
let questionList = [
    [`In what city is the Effeil Tower?`, `paris`],
    [`Capital of Englang?`, `london`],
    [`What's 2 + 2?`, `4`],
    [`What is my name?`, `alex`]
]

function print(message) {
    document.write(message);
}

function askQuestion(questions) {
    for(let i = 0; i < questions.length; i += 1) {
        answer = prompt(questionList[i][0]);
        if(answer.toLowerCase() === questionList[i][1]) {
            right.push(questionList[i][0]);
        } else {
            wrong.push(questionList[i][0])
        }
    }
}

function printAnswered(answered) {
    let list = '<ol>';
    for (let i = 0; i < answered.length; i += 1) {
        list += `<li> ${answered[i]} </li>`
    }
    list += '</ol>';
    print(list);
}

askQuestion(questionList);
print(`<p>You got ${right.length} answers right!</p>`); 
print(`<b>You got these right:</b>`);
printAnswered(right);
print(`<b>You got these wrong:</b>`);
printAnswered(wrong);

It's probably not a good habit to put all strings in template literals. But using them where interpolation is being done does give the code a slightly cleaner look. :+1:

I’ve been thinking about that, is there any case where they could cause issues?

I doubt it would cause anything serious, but it might be less efficient since the engine would need to scan the template for substitution tokens.
