Need help. Not all questions appearing.

I have tried to make sure there were no typos in copying how this video wrote out the code, but after I go through answering the questions, it will only produce one question that I got right or wrong but no others. Also, how would I be able to copy/paste this into a visual display without putting this in question details? I'm still to new all of this.

var questions = [

['How many states are in the United States?', 50],

['How many continents are there?', 7],

['How many legs does an insect have?', 6]

];

var correctAnswers = 0;

var question;

var answer;

var response;

var correct = [];

var wrong = [];

function print(message) {

var outputDiv = document.getElementById('output');

outputDiv.innerHTML = message; }

function buildList(arr) {

var listHTML = '<ol>';

for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i += 1 ) {

listHTML = '<li>' + arr[i] + '</li>'; }

listHTML += '</ol>';

return listHTML; }

for (var i = 0; i < questions.length; i += 1) {

question = questions[i][0];

answer = questions[i][1];

response = prompt(question);

response = parseInt(response);

if (response === answer) {

correctAnswers += 1;

correct.push(question); } else { wrong.push(question); } }

html = "You got " + correctAnswers + " question(s) right."

html += '<h2>You got these questions correct:</h2>';

html += buildList(correct);

html += '<h2>You got these questions wrong:</h2>';

html += buildList(wrong);

print(html);

Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to answer the actual question, but I can help with the visual display part.

It's good to put code in the question. Don't worry about that. But you want to reference the markdown cheatsheet to make it more readable: https://teamtreehouse.com/community/cheatsheet

Wrap your code with 3 backticks (```) on the line before and after. If you specify the language after the first set of backticks, that'll help us with syntax highlighting.

```javascript
var myVar = "This is a javascript variable";
```

will result in

var myVar = "This is a javascript variable";

In the "buildList" function, by just assigning "listHTML" in each pass, the previous value(s) will be overwritten. To build a complete string by adding the new values onto it, use a concatenating assignment ("+=") instead.
