231,269 PointsThe 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
".

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 21,661 PointsI 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?
