You also have a typo.

Once you un-scramble the source, you also have a typo on this line in the third question section:

    correct =+ 1;

I'm sure you meant to put "correct += 1;" like you have in the other sections.

Hi Chris,

So that more experienced developers can assist you, write your Community posts with a clear question and explanation of why you are not getting the intended result that you want. For example, your code above might be throwing an error or just giving the wrong feedback based on the logic in the program - try to explain what's happening vs. what you're expecting to happen.

Also, can you please put your question in a more readable format? Put any code into a code block (start it with 3 backticks ` and end it with 3 more)? I'd be happy to help once I understand the problems that you're running into.

Thanks, Stephen

:point_right: It looks like this code may have been scrambled during editing.

I see what appears to be bits of code that are repeated, and not on even line boundaries. This is causing run-on strings, multiply defined variables, and other issues.

I'm guessing either there was a problem copying the code to this page, or perhaps the code was actually in this form as a result of some editing mishap.
