The second question keeps looping pls help me out

var questions = [ ["Who is the president of Nigeria ?", "buhari"], ["Dublin is the capital of which country ?", "ireland"], ["Manchester united football club is from which country ?", "england"]

]; var correctanswer= 0; var question; var response; var answer; var html;

for (var i = 0; i < questions.length; i=+1) { question = questions[i][0]; answer = questions[i][1]; response= prompt(question); response = response.toLowerCase(); if (response === answer ) { correctanswer=+1;

}   


}

html = "you got " + correctanswer + " question(s) right" ;

document.write(html);

I ran your code and it works fine. Can you explain more of what happens? You can also format the code to make it more presentable?

The formatting ammarkhan is suggesting can be done by using the instructions in the Markdown Cheatsheet pop-up below the "Add an Answer" area. :arrow_heading_down:   Or watch this video on code formatting.

The increment clause in your "for" loop is "i = +1". This keeps setting the index to 1 (+1), which refers to the second question.

You probably intended to use the addition assignment operator to increment the value instead: "i += 1".
